White light is incident on the interface...

White light is incident on the interface of glass and air as shown in figure. If green ligth is just totally internally reflected then the emerging ray in air contains

A

Yellow, orange and red colours

B

Violet, indigo and blue colours

C

All colours

D

All colours except green

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Since, `lambda prop (1)/(n) " and "sin i_(c ) prop (1)/(n) `
`lambda prop sin i_(c ) `
Yellow, Orange and Red colour has higher `i_(c )` , therefore these colours will not suffer TIR.

In the diagram shown, a ray of light is incident on the interface between 1 and 2 at angle slightly greater than critical angle. The light surfers total internal reflection at this interface. After that the light ray falls at the interface of 1 and 3, and again it suffers total internal reflection. Which of the following relations should hold true?

Statement I: A ray is incident from outside on a glass sphere surrounded by air as shown in Figure. This ray may suffer total internal reflection at the second interface. Statement II: For a ray going from a denser to rarer medium, the ray may suffer total internal reflection.
