A light ray moving in medium-I (of refractive index `n_(1)`) is incident on interface of two media and it is totally internally reflected at the interface. Now, refractive index `n_(2)` of medium-II is decreased, then

ray will move completely parallel to the interface

B

ray will be still totally internally reflected at interface

C

ray will be totally transmitted into medium-II only, if angle of incidence is increased

A ray of light is incident on a medium at an angle i. It is found that the reflected ray is at right angles to the refracted ray . The refractive index of the medium is given by

In the diagram shown, light is incident on the interface between media 1 (refractive index n_(1) ) and 2 (refractive index n_(2) ) at angle slightly greater than the critical angle, and is totally reflected. The light is then also totally reflected at the interface between media 1 and 3 (refractive index n_(3) ), after which it travels in a direction opposite to its initial direction, The media must have a refractive indices such that. .

A light ray is incident perpendicularly to one face of a 90^circ prism and is totally internally reflected at the glass-air interface. If the angle of reflection is 45^circ , we conclude that the refractive index n

For total internal reflection to take place, the angle of incidence I and the refractive index mu of the medium must satisfy the inequality

For total internal reflection to take place, the angle of incidence i and the refractive index mu of the medium must satisfy the inequality

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

Light travels from a medium of refractive index mu_(1) to another of refractive index mu_(2)(mu_(1) gt mu_(2)). For total internal reflection of light, which is NOT true?
