A ray is incident on a glass sphere as shown.The opposite surface of the sphere is partially silvered .If the net deviation of the ray transmitted at the partially silvered surface is 1//3^(rd) of the net deviation suffered by the ray reflected at the partially silvered surface(after emerging out of the sphere).Find the refractive index of the sphere.

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.
