1. Optical fibre are based on: (2001)
2. Assertion (A): A solid glass sphere is placed in air. A light ray enters into the sphere from outside. The ray cannot undergo total internal reflection inside the sphere. Reason (R): The angle of incidence at \(\text{1}^ \ext{st}\) surface cannot be greater than the critical angle for air-glass system.  
3. 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)
4. 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 ?
5. 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.
