Figure, a light ray is incident on the lower medium boundary at an angle if `45^(@)` with the normal. Which of the following statement `is//are` true?

A

If `mu_(2) gt sqrt(2)` , then angle of deviation is `45^(@)`

B

If `mu_(2) lt sqrt(2)` , then angle of deviation is `90^(@)`

C

If `mu_(2) lt sqrt(2)` , then angle of deviation is `135^(@)`

D

If `mu_(2) gt sqrt(2)` , then angle of deviation is `0^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a.,b.

For `mu_(2) gt sqrt(2)` (TIR will not take place)
`2sin45^(@)=mu_(2)sinr`
`mu_(2)sinr=sqrt(2) sin e`
`e=90^(@)`
Hence, deviation is `45^(@)`
`mu_(2) lt sqrt(2)`. TIR will take place.
Deviation is `90^(@)`.
