Light travels from a medium of refractive index H, to another of refractive index mu_(2) (mu_1 gt mu_(2)). For total internal reflection of light, which is NOT true?

Determine the value of the angle of incidence for a ray of light travelling from a medium of refractive index mu_1 = sqrt(2) into the medium of refractive index mu_2 = 1 , so that it just grazes along the surface of separation.

An e.m. wave is travelling through a medium of refractive index mu_1 , and is incident on the boundary of a medium of refractive index mu_2 . IF the wave reflects at the boundary

An equiconvex lens of refractive index mu_(2) is placed such that the refractive :

A transparent cube of side d, made of a material of refractive index mu_(2) , is immersed in a liquid of refractive index mu_(1)(mu_(1)ltmu_(2)) . . A ray is incident on the face AV at an angle theta (shown in the figure). Total internal refraction takes place at point E on the face BC. Then must satisfy:
