A ray OP of monochromatice light is incident on the face AB of prism ABCD near vertex B at an incident angle of `60^(@)` (see figure). If the refractive index of the material of the prism is `sqrt(3)` , which of the following is (are) correct?

A

The rays gets totally internally reflected at face CD

B

The ray comes out through face AD

C

The angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray is `90^(@)`

D

The angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray is `120^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
ABC
At point O `(1) "sin"60^(@) = sqrt(3) "sin"r implies r= 30^(@)`
At point L : TIR occurs : because `sqrt(3) "sin"45^(@) gt 1`
At point M : `sqrt(3) "sin" (30^(@)) = (1) "sin" theta implies theta = 60^(@)`
