NEET Total Internal Reflection MCQs & PYQs

Question 1:

moderate

A ray of light from a denser medium strikes a rarer medium at an angle of incidence i. If the reflected and refracted rays are mutually perpendicular to each other then what is the value of critical angle ?

Question 2:

difficult

As shown in figure light P enters to slab at an angle 60° with normal and inside slab Q makes total internal reflection. Find minimum refractive index of slab.

Question 3:

moderate

The speed of light in media M1 and M2 is \[1.5\times 10^{8} m/s and 2.0\times 10^{8}\] respectively. A ray of light enters from medium M1 to M2 at an incidence angle i. If the ray suffers total internal reflection, the value of i is :

Question 4:

easy

If the critical angle for total internal reflection from a medium to vacuum is 30°, the velocity of light in the medium is

Question 5:

moderate

A transparent solid cylindrical rod has a refractive index of 2/√3. It is surrounded by air. A light ray is incident at the mid-point of one end of the rod as shown in the figure.

The incident angle θ for which the light ray grazes along the wall of the rod is

Question 6:

moderate

A point source of light is kept at a depth of h in water of refractive index 4/3. The radius of the circle at the surface of water through which light emits is

Question 7:

difficult

Figure shows a mixture of blue, green and red coloured rays incident normally on a right angled prism. The critical angles of the material of the prism for red, green and blue are 46°, 44° and 43° respectively. The arrangement will separate.

Question 8:

difficult

A light ray travelling in a glass medium is incident on glass-air interface at an angle of incidence q. The reflected (R) and transmitted (T) intensities, both as function of q, are plotted. The correct figure is : (θc = critical angle)

Question 9:

moderate

A small coin is resting on the bottom of a beaker filled with liquid. A ray of light from the coin travels upto the surface of the liquid and moves along its surface. How fast is the light travelling in the liquid ?

Question 10:

easy

Critical angle of light passing from water to air is maximum for

Critical angle is given by \(sintheta_c = frac{1}{mu}\). According to Cauchy's formula, the refractive index \(mu\) increases as wavelength decreases (Yellow > Green > Blue > Indigo in wavelength). Therefore, Yellow has the lowest refractive index and thus the maximum critical angle.
