Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

  1. A ray of light travelling in a transparent medium of refractive index μ , falls on a surface separating the medium from air at an angle of incidence of 45°. For which of the following value of µ the ray can undergo total internal reflection?
    1. μ = 1.33
    2. μ = 1.40
    3. μ = 1.50
    4. μ = 1.25
Correct Option: C

For total internal reflection, μ >
1
> √2 ≥ 1.414
sin C

⇒ ​​µ = 1.50
