Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedPhysicsRay Optics
A ray of light is incident on a right angled isosceles prism parallel to its base as shown in the figure. Refractive index of the material of the prism is 2 . Then. which of the following statement(s) is/are true?
Options
- AThe refiection at P is total internal.
- BThe reflection at Q is total internal.
- CThe ray emerging at R is parallel to the ray incident at S .
- DTotal deviation of the ray is 150^
Correct answer
C. The ray emerging at R is parallel to the ray incident at S .
Step-by-step solution
Critical angle _ C = ⁻¹ ( 1 2 )=45^ Snell's law at points, ( n₁ ₁=n₂ ₂ ) 1 45^ = 2 =30^ At P incidence angle at P=75^ > _ C TIR at point P At Q incidence angle at Q=15^ Partial reflection and refraction at Q . As S P | Q R , emergent ray at R is parallel to incid, ray at S . Net deviation =180^
