JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 9. Ray optics and optical instruments

Light is incident from a medium into air at two possible angles of incidence \((A)\, 20^o\) and \((B)\, 40^o\) . In the medium light travels \(3.0\, cm\) in \(0.2\, ns\). The ray will

  1. A suffer total internal reflection in both cases \((A)\) and \((B)\)
  2. B suffer total internal reflection in case \((B)\) only
  3. C have partial reflection and partial transmission in case \((B)\)
  4. D have \(100\%\) transmission in case \((A)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) suffer total internal reflection in case \((B)\) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Velocity of light in medium \({V_{{\text{treat }}}} = \frac{{3\,{\text{cm}}}}{{0.2\,{\text{ns}}}} = \) \(\frac{{3 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}{\text{m}}}}{{0.2 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}{\text{s}}}} = 1.5\,{\text{m}}/{\text{s}}\) Refractive index of the medium…
