COMEDK2012PhysicsRay Optics
A ray of light passing from glass to water is incident on the glass-water interface at 65^ . If the critical angle for the pair of media is 63^ .
Options
- AThe ray will emerge into water with a deviation of 2^ from the normal
- BThe ray will be refracted into water with a deviation of 2^
- CThe ray will be totally internally reflected back into glass with a deviation of 50^
- DThe ray will be totally internally reflected back into glass with a deviation of 2^
Correct answer
C. The ray will be totally internally reflected back into glass with a deviation of 50^
Step-by-step solution
Given, i=65^ and i_ c =63^ Since, i>i_ c , so the ray undergo total internal reflection. The angle of deviation, d= -2 i =180^ -2 (65^ )=180^ -130^ =50^
