JEE Advanced · Physics · 24. Ray Optics
A planar structure of length and width is made of two different optical media of refractive indices and as shown in figure. If a ray entering from end will emerge from end only if the total internal reflection condition is met inside the structure. For if the incident angle is varied, the maximum time taken by a ray to exit the plane is where is ____.
[Speed of light

- A 52
- B 50
- C 54
- D 56
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 50
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

For maximum time taken by a rat to exit, it must travel maximum distance.
So, for this, it should be incident at minimum possible angle i.e., at boundary.
Applying Snells' law at boundary
total length travel by light
