$A$ ray of light enters from a rarer to a denser medium. The angle of incidence is $i$. Then the reflected and refracted rays are mutually perpendicular to each other. The critical angle for the pair of media is

  • A
    $\sin ^{-1}(\tan i)$
  • B
    $\tan ^{-1}(\sin i)$
  • C
    $\sin ^{-1}(\cot i)$
  • D
    $\cos ^{-1}(\tan i)$

$A$ rod of glass $(\mu = 1.5)$ with a square cross-section is bent into the shape shown in the figure. $A$ parallel beam of light falls on the plane flat surface $A$ as shown. If $d$ is the width of a side and $R$ is the radius of the inner circular arc,what is the maximum value of $\frac{d}{R}$ such that the light entering the glass slab through surface $A$ emerges from the glass through $B$?

$A$ wide slab consisting of two media of refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2$ is placed in air as shown in the figure. $A$ ray of light is incident from medium $n_1$ to $n_2$ at an angle $\theta$,where $\sin \theta$ is slightly larger than $1/n_1$. Take the refractive index of air as $1$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ The light ray enters air if $n_2 = n_1$
$(B)$ The light ray is finally reflected back into the medium of refractive index $n_1$ if $n_2 < n_1$
$(C)$ The light ray is finally reflected back into the medium of refractive index $n_1$ if $n_2 > n_1$
$(D)$ The light ray is reflected back into the medium of refractive index $n_1$ if $n_2 = 1$

Assertion: The air bubble shines in water.
Reason: Air bubble in water shines due to refraction of light.
