A ray of light travelling in water is incident on its surface open to air. The angle of incidence is theta , which is less than the critical angle. Then there will be

A ray of light travelling in a transparent medium falls on a surface separating the medium from air at an angle of incidence of 45 degree. The ray undergoes total internal reflection. If n is the refractive index of the medium with respect to air, select the possible value (s) of n from the following:

A coin is at rest at bottom of a tank filled with liquid. A ray of light coming towards surface will move on the surface after incident on it, then what is the speed of light in liquid ?

A ray of light travels along a line y=4 and strikes the surface of curves y^2=4(x+y)dot Then the equations of the line along which of reflected ray travels is x=0 (b) x=2 (c) x+y (d) 2x+y=4

A ray of light travelling in impure water is incident on a glass plate immersed in it. Wher the angle of incidence is 51^(@) , the reflected ray i totally plane polarised. Given that refractiv index of impure water is 1.4. The refractive index of glass should be ......

A ray of light travelling in water is incident on a glass plate immersed in it. When the angle of incident is 51^(@) the reflected ray is totally plane polarized. Find the refractive index of glass. Refractive index of water is 1.33.

A ray of light is incident on the surface of a glass plate at an angle of incidence equal to Brewster's angle phi . If mu represents the refractive index of glass with respect to air, then the angle between reflected and refracted rays is

A ray of light travelling with a speed c leaves point 1 shown in figure and is reflected to point 2. The ray strikes the reflecting surface at a distance x from point 1. According to Fermat's principle of least time, among all possible paths between two points , the one actually taken by a ray of light is that for which the time taken is the least (In fact there are some cases in which the time taken by a ray is maximum rather than a minimum). Find the time for the ray to reach from point 1 to point 2.
