A ray of light enters a spherical drop of water of refractive index `mu` as shown in figure.

Q. Select the correct statement:

A

Incident rays are partically reflected at point A

B

Incident rays are totalyy reflected at point A

C

Incident rays are totally transmitted through A

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a.
From Snell's law,
`musinalpha=sinphi`
`sinalpha=(1)/(mu)sinphilt(1)/(mu)`
`alpha` is less thean critical angle.
