Refraction by Plane Surfaces: Practice Problem & Solution

Immiscible transparent liquids A,B,C,D and E are placed in a rectangular container of glass with the liquids making layers according to their densities. The refractive index of the liquids are shown in the adjoining diagram. The container is illuminated from the side and a small piece of glass having refractive index 1.61 is gently dropped into the liquid layer. The glass piece as it descends downwards will not be visible in Refraction by Plane Surfaces diagram: Immiscible transparent liquids A,B,C,D and E are placed

1. Assertion (A): The refractive index of diamond is \(\sqrt{6}\), and that of liquid is \(\sqrt{3}\), . If the light travels from diamond to the liquid, it will totally reflected when the angle of incidence is \(30^\circ\). Reason (R): For total internal reflection, angle of incidence should be less than critical angle \(\theta_c = sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{\mu})\).
2. A light ray falls on a glass surface of refractive index $\sqrt{3}$, at an angle $60^\circ$. The angle between the refracted and reflected rays would be : (2022)
3. Assertion (A): The Snell's law \(\mu sin \theta = \text{constant}\) is valid at different boundaries irrespective of the shape of the boundaries. Reason (R): When light enters from vacuum into a medium of refractive index \(\mu\), its speed and wavelength increases by \(\mu\).
