The equation of refraction at a spherica...

The equation of refraction at a spherical surface is `mu_2/v-mu_1/u=(mu_2-mu_1)/R`
Taking `R=oo`, show that this equation leads to the equation
`(Real depth)/(Apparent depth)=mu_2/mu_1` for fraction at a plane surface.

Is the formula "Real depth/Apparent depth = mu." valid if viewed from a position quite away from the normal ?

Find the maximum angle of refraction when a light ray is refracted from glass (mu= 1.50) to air.

Monochramatic light is incident on the pane interface AB between two media of refractive indices mu_1 and mu_2(mu_2gtmu_1) at an angle of incidence theta as shown in figure. The angle theta is infinitesimally greater thannte critical angle for the two media so thast total internal reflection takes place. Now, if a transparent slab DEFG of uniform thickness and of refractive inde mu_2 is introduced on theinterface (as shown in figure ) , show that for any value of mu_2 all light will ultimately be reflected back into medium II.

The dimension of (1)/(mu_(0)epsilon_(0)) is
