A ray of monochromatic light is incident on the refracting face of a prism (angle 75^(@)0 . It passes through the prism and is incident on the other face at the critical angle. If the refractive index of the prism is sqrt(2) , then the angle of incidence on the first of the prism is

A monochromatic beam of light is incident at the interface of two materials of refractive index n_1 and n_2 as shown . If n_1 gt n_2 and theta_C is the critical angle then which of the following statements is NOT true ?

When a ray of light is incident normally on a surface, then

Assertion : When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separting two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency. Reason: The frequency of monochromatic light depends on media.

A: When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency. R: At any interface between the two media , the electric (and magnetic) fields must satisfy certain boundary conditions for all times and frequency determines the time dependence of fields.

When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequecy as the incident frequecy. Explain why ?
