A beam of white light is incident on the glass-air interface from glass to air such that green light just suffers total internal reflection. The colors of the light which will come out to air are

A

Violet, Indigo, Blue

B

All colors except green

C

Yellow, Orange, Red

D

White light

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c.

We know that `sinC=(1)/(mu)` and `mu prop(1)/(lambda)`
`rArr sinCproplambda` For more `lambda` , C is more.
