You are given four sources of light each one providing a light of a single colour-red, blue,green and yellow. Suppose the angle of refraction for a beam of yellow light corresponding to a particular angle of incidence at the interface of two media is `90^@`. Which of the folowing statements is correct it the source of yellow light is replaced with that of other lights without changing the angle of incidence ?

A

The beam of red ligth would undergo tota internal reflection

B

The beam of red light would bend towards normal while it gets refracted through the second medium

C

The beam of blue light would undergo total internal reflection

D

The beam of green light would bend away from the normal as it gets refracted through the second medum

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to VIBGYOR, among all given sources of light, the blue light have smallest wavelength. According to Cauchy relationship, smaller the wavelength higher the refractive index and consequently smaller the critical angle. So, corresponding to blue colour, the critical angle is least which facilitates total internal reflection for the beam of the light. The beam of green light would also undergo total internal reflection.
