A triangular medium has varying refracting index `mu = mu_(0) + ax` where x is the distance (in cm) along x-axis from origin and `m_(0) = 4//3`. A ray is incident normally on face OA at the mid-point of OA. Find the range of value of a so that light does not escape through face AB when it falls first time on the face AB.

A

`a gt (1)/(9)`

B

`a gt (2)/(9)`

C

`a gt (1)/(3)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Clearly `PM = (3)/(2) cm`
`37^(@) gt "sin"^(-1) (1)/(n_(0)+a(3//2))`
`(3)/(5) gt(1)/(n_(1)+(3a)/(2))rArr 3n_(0)+(9a)/(2) gt 5`
`(9a)/(2) gt 1 rArr a gt (2)/(9)`.

A triangular medium has varying refracting index n=n_0 +ax , where x is the distance (in cm) along x-axis from origin and n_0 = 4/3 . A ray is incident normally on face OA at the mid-point of OA. The range of a so that light does not escape through face AB when it falls first time on the face AB(OA=4cm, OB=3cm and AB=5cm): (Surrounding medium is air)

In figure, parallel beam of light is incident on the plane of the slits of a Young's double-slit experiment. Light incident on the slit S_(1) passes through a medium of variable refractive index mu = 1 + ax (where 'x' is the distance from the plane of slits as shown), up to distance 'I' before falling on S_(1) . Rest of the space is filled with air. If at 'O' a minima is formed. then the minimum value of the positive constant a (in terms of l and wavelength lambda in air) is

The refractive index of a medium changes as mu=mu_(0)[1-(x^(2)+y^(2))/(d_(2))]^(1//2) where mu_(0) is the refractive index on the z axis. A plane wavefront (AB) is incident along z axis as shown in the figure. Draw the wavefront at a later time Deltat . Is the wavefront getting focused?

A parallel beam of light travelling in x direction is incident on a glass slab of thickness t. The refractive index of the slab changes with y as mu = mu_(0) ( 1 – ( y2) /( y_(2)^( 0) ) ) where mu_(0) is the refractive index along x axis and y_(0) is a constant. The light beam gets focused at a point F on the x axis. By using the concept of optical path length calculate the focal length f. Assume f gtgt t and consider y to be small.

Two plane mirrors M1 and M2 , placed at right angles, form two sides of a container. Mirror M1 is inclined at an angle theta_(0) to the horizontal. A light ray AB is incident normally on M1 . Now the container is filled with a liquid of refractive index mu so that the ray is first refracted, then reflected at M1 . The ray is next reflected at M2 and then comes out of the liquid surface making an angle theta with the normal to the liquid surface. Find theta .

Two identical equilat- eral glass (refractive index = sqrt(2)) prisms ABC and CDE are kept such that the angle between faces AC and CE is q.

Find the value of angle i and theta such that angle between the incident ray PQ and emergent ray TU is minimum.
