JEE Advanced · Physics · 24. Ray Optics
A light ray is incident on the surface of a sphere of refractive index \(n\) at an angle of incidence \(\theta_0\). The ray partially refracts into the sphere with angle of refraction \(\phi_0\) and then partly reflects from the back surface. The reflected ray then emerges out of the sphere after a partial refraction. The total angle of deviation of the emergent ray with respect to the incident ray is \(\alpha\). Match the quantities mentioned in List-I with their values in List-II and choose the correct option.

\(\begin{aligned} & \alpha=\left(\theta_0-\phi_0\right)+\left(180-2 \phi_0\right)+\left(\theta_0-2 \phi_0\right) \\ & \alpha=180+2 \theta_0-4 \phi_0\end{aligned}\)
\(\textbf{(P) } \alpha=180+2 \theta_0-4 \phi_0\)
\(180=180+2 \theta_0-4 \phi_0 \Rightarrow \theta_0=2 \phi_0\) ...(i)
\(\sin \theta_0=2 \sin \phi_0\) ...(ii)
From (i) & (ii)
\(\begin{aligned} & \sin \theta_0=2 \sin \left(\theta_0 / 2\right) \Rightarrow \cos \left(\frac{\theta_0}{2}\right)=1 \\ & \frac{\theta_0}{2}=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \theta_0=0\end{aligned}\)
\(\textbf{(Q) } \theta_0=2 \phi_0\) ...(i)
\(\sin \theta_0=\sqrt{3} \sin \phi_0\) ...(ii)
From (i) & (ii)
\(\begin{aligned} & \sin \theta_0=\sqrt{3} \sin \left(\frac{\theta_0}{2}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow \cos \left(\frac{\theta_0}{2}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ & \frac{\theta_0}{2}=30,150 \\ & \theta_0=60,300 \text { (Rejected) } \\ & \theta_0=60 , 0\end{aligned}\)
\(\textbf{(R) } \theta_0=2 \phi_0\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \sin \theta_0=\sqrt{3} \sin \phi_0 \\ & \sin 2 \theta_0=\sqrt{3} \sin \phi_0 \\ & \cos \phi_0=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ & \phi_0=30,150 \text { (Rejected) }\end{aligned}\)
\(\phi_0=30, 0\) ...(iii)
\(\begin{aligned} & \textbf {(S) } \sin 45=\sqrt{2} \cos \phi_0 \\ & \cos \phi_0=1 / 2 \\ & \phi_0=60 \\ & \alpha=180+2 \theta_0-4 \phi_0\end{aligned}\)
\(\alpha=180+90-120\) ...(iv)

JEE Advanced 2021 Hard - Paragraph :
When liquid medicine of density \(\rho\) is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop.
We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension \(T\) when the radius of the drop is \(R\). When this force becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.
