What is the angle of incidence of a ray if the reflected ray is at an angle of 90° to the incident ray?
As per the laws of reflection The angle of incidence ∠i = angle of reflection ∠r Here as given ∠i + ∠r = 90° ∴ ∠i + ∠i = 90 ° or ∠i =...

Light enters from air into glass having refractive index 1.50. What is the speed of light in glass? The speed of light in vacuum is 3 x 108 ms-1.
Given,n=1.5 and the speed of light in vacuum, c = 3x 108 ms-1. We know that the refractive index is given by the expression n =c/v where c is the...

Total internal reflection can take place only if (a) light goes from optically rarer medium (smaller refractive index) to optically denser medium
(b) light goes from optically denser medium to rarer medium EXPLANATION: When the light goes from a denser medium to lighter medium, it goes away from the normal. When the angle of...

Light falls from glass (μ= 1.5) to air. Find the angle of incidence for which the angle of deviation is 90°.
Since, μ= 1.5, Critial angle = sin–1(1/μ) = sin–1 (1/1.5) = 41.8° We know, the maximum attainable deviation in refraction is (90° – 41.8°) = 47.2° So, in this case, total internal...
