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 light would undergo total internal reflection.

B

The beam of red light would bend toward 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 medium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Here, for yellow light, `r = 90^(@)` when `I = C`. As I kept same, C must be smaller for total internal reflection. From `mu = (1)/(sinC),C` will be smallest for blue colour. Therefore, blue light would undergo total internal reflection.
