Assertion:- Images formed by TIR (Total ...

Assertion:- Images formed by TIR (Total internal reflection) are much brighter than formed by mirrors or lenses.
Reason:- IN TIR, there is no loss of intensity while in case of reflection from mirrors or refraction from plane surfaces or lenses there is some loss of intensity as all light can never be reflected or refracted.

Assertion : The images formed by total internal reflections are much brighter than those formed by mirrorrs or lenses. Reason : There is no loss of intensity in total internal reflection.

Can reflection result in plane polarised light if the light is incident on the interface from the side with higher refractive index ?

A point object lies 30 cm above water on the axis of a convex mirror of focal length 40 cm lying 20 cm below water surface. Consider two images. (i) Image formed by the partial reflection from water surface. (ii) Image formed by refraction from water surface followed by reflection from mirror and again refraction out of the water surface. find the distance between these two images.

Assertion : Newton's rings are formed in the reflected system. When the space between the lens and the glass plate is filled with a liquid of refractive index greater than that of glass, the central spot of the pattern is bright. Reason : This is because the reflections in these cases will be from a denser to a rarer medium and the two interfering rays are reflected under similar conditions.

Thin films, including soap bubbles and oil slicks, show patterns of alternating dark and bright regions resulting from interference among the reflected light waves. If two waves are in phase their crest and troughs will coincide. The interference will be constructive and the aplitude of the resultant wave will be greater than the amplitude of either constituent wave. if the two waves are out of phase, the crests of one wave will coincide with the troughs of the other wave. The interference will be destructive and the amplitude of the resultant wave will be less than that of either constituent wave. at the interface between two transparent media some light is reflected and some light is refracted. * When incident light, reaches the surface at point a, some of the light is reflected as ray R_(a) and and some is refracted following the path ab to the back of the film. *At point b some of the light is refracted out of the film and part is reflected back refracted out of the fiml as ray R_(c) .

Light guidance in an optical fiber can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index n_(1) surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index n_(2) . The light guidance in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of the media n_(1) and n_(2) as shown in the figure . all rays with the angle of incidence i less than a particular value of i_(m) are confined in the medium of refractive index n_(1) . The numerical aperture (NA) of the structure is defined as "sin"i_(m) For two structures namely S_(1) with n_(1) = sqrt(45) //4 "and" n_(2) = 3//2 , "and" S_(2) with n_(1) = 8//5 "and" n_(2) = 7//5 and taking the refractive index of water to be 4/3 and that of air to be 1 , the correct option (s) is (are)

Consider the situation in figure. The bottom of the pot is reflecting plane mirror , S is small fish is a human eye . Refractive index of water is mu . Fish can see two images of human eye , first due to refractive only and other due to refraction and than reflection . Distance of these images from fish are S_(1) "and" S_(2) respectively . Human eye can also see the two images of fish, first due to refraction only and other due to reflection and then refraction . Distance of these images from human eye are S_(3) "and" S_(4) respectively . Match the quantities of column-I (with their value in column-(II) {:("Column I","Column II"),((A) S_(1),(p)H[1 + (1)/(2mu)]),((B)S_(2),(q) H[mu + (1)/(2)]),((C)S_(3) , (r) H[1 + (3)/(2mu)]) , ((D) S_(4) , (s) H[mu + (3)/(2)]):}

(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? (b) 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

A glass wedge with a small angle of refraction theta is placed at a certain distance from a converging lens with a focal length f ,one surface of the wedge being perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens. A point sources S of light is on the other side of the lens at its focus. The rays reflected from the wedge (not from base) produce, after refraction in the lens , two images of the source displaced with respect to each other by d. Find the refractive index of the wedge glass. [Consider only paraxial rays.]
