Light incident on a surface separating t...

Light incident on a surface separating two media is partly reflected and party refracted as shown in Fig. Then :
.

A

`sini=(mu_(2))/((mu_(1)^(2)+mu_(2)^(2))^(1/2))`

B

`tani=(mu_(1))/(mu_(2))`

C

`sini=tanr`

D

`sini=secr`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Here `i=90^(@)-r`, so `sini=sin(90^(@)-r)=cosr`
Also, `(mu_(2))/(mu_(1))=(sini)/(sinr)=(sini)/(sqrt(1-cos^(2)r))=(sini)/(sqrt(1-sin^(2)i))`
or `mu_(1)^(2)sin^(2)i=mu_(2)^(2)-mu_(2)^(2)sin^(2)i`
or `(mu_(1)^(2)+mu_(2)^(2))sin^(2)i=mu_(2)^(2)` or `sini=(mu_(2))/(sqrt(mu_(1)^(2)+mu_(2)^(2)))*`

When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequecy as the incident frequecy. Explain why ?

Assertion : When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separting two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency. Reason: The frequency of monochromatic light depends on media.

A: When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency. R: At any interface between the two media , the electric (and magnetic) fields must satisfy certain boundary conditions for all times and frequency determines the time dependence of fields.

(a) When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency. Explain why ? (bb) When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, the speed decreases. Does the reduction in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by the light wave? c) In the wave picture of light, intensity of light is determined by the square of the amplitude of the wave. What determines the intensity of light in the photon picture of light.
