A green light is incident from the water to the air - water interface at the critical angle \((\theta)\). Select the correct statement .

Pick an option to check your answer.

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) The spectrum of visible light whose fre quency is less than that of green light will come out to the air medium

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For critical angle \(\theta_{\mathrm{c}}\) ,

\(\sin \theta_{c}=\frac{1}{\mu}\)

For greater wavelength or lesser frequency \(\mu\) is less.

So, critical angle would be more. So, they will not suffer reflection and come out at angles less then \(90^o\).

The time period of a simple pendulum is given by \(T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{ g }}\). The measured value of the length of pendulum is \(10\, cm\) known to a \(1\, mm\) accuracy. The time for \(200\) oscillations of the pendulum is found to be \(100\) second using a clock of \(1s\) resolution. The percentage accuracy in the determination of \('g'\) using this pendulum is \('x'\). The value of \('x'\) to the nearest integer is ...........\(\%\)

A body of mass ' \(m\) ' connected to a massless and unstretchable string goes in verticle circle of radius ' \(R\) 'under gravity \(g\). The other end of the string is fixed at the center of circle. If velocity at top of circular path is \(n \sqrt{g R}\), where, \(n \geqslant 1\), then ratio of kinetic energy of the body at bottom to that at top of the circle is

Two light waves having the same wavelength \(\lambda\) in vacuum are in phase initially. Then the first wave travels a path \(L _{1}\) through a medium of refractive index \(n_{1}\) while the second wave travels a path of length \(L_{2}\) through a medium of refractive index \(n _{2}\). After this the phase difference between the two waves is:
