A green light is incident from the water to the air – water interface at the critical angle `(theta)`. Select the correct statement

A

The spectrum of visible light whose frequency is more than that of various angles to the normal

B

The entire spectrum of visible light will come out of the water at angle of `90 ^(@)` to the normal

C

The entire spectrum of visible will come out of the water at angle of `90^(@)` to the normal.

D

The spectrum of visible light whose frequency is less than that of green light will come out to the air medium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Frequency of light (v) `gt` frequency of green light `(V_(G))`
`mu` is also greater than `mu_(G)` and critical angle of light is less than green light therefore light will got total internal reflaction and not come out to the air .
For frequency of light `(v) lt V_(G)` , light will not suffer T.I.R . Therefore light comes out to the air
