A ray of monochromatic light is incident on the plane surface of separation between two media \(X\) and \(Y\) with angle of incidence 'i' in medium \(X\) and angle of refraction ' \(r\) ' in medium \(Y\). The given graph shows the relation between sin \(i\) and \(\sin r\). If \(V_x\) and \(V_{\mathrm{Y}}\) are the velocities of the ray in media \(X\) and \(Y\) respectively, then which of the following is true?

- A \(V_X=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} V_Y\)
- B \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{X}}=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~V}_Y\)
- C Total internal reflection can happen when the light is incident in medium \(X\).
- D \(v_X=\sqrt{3} v_Y\), where \(v_X\) and \(v_Y\) are frequencies of the light in medium \(X\) and \(Y\) respectively.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{X}}=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~V}_Y\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Hint : \(\begin{aligned} & \mu_1 \sin i=\mu_2 \sin r \\ & \frac{C}{V_X} \sin i=\frac{C}{V_Y} \sin r \\ & \frac{\sin i}{\sin r}=\frac{V_X}{V_Y}=\sqrt{3} \\ & V_Y=\frac{V_X}{\sqrt{3}} \\ & V_X=\sqrt{3} V_Y\end{aligned}\) \(y=m x\)…
