$A$ ray of light passes from a denser medium to a rarer medium at an angle of incidence $i$. The reflected and refracted rays make an angle of $90^{\circ}$ with each other. The angles of reflection and refraction are respectively $r$ and $r^{\prime}$. The critical angle is given by:

Let the refractive index of a denser medium with respect to a rarer medium be $n_{12}$ and its critical angle be $\theta_C$. At an angle of incidence $A$ when light is travelling from a denser medium to a rarer medium,a part of the light is reflected and the rest is refracted,and the angle between the reflected and refracted rays is $90^o$. Angle $A$ is given by

$A$ point source $S$ is placed at the bottom of a transparent block of height $h = 10 \ mm$ and refractive index $n_B = 2.72$. It is immersed in a liquid of lower refractive index $n_L$ as shown in the figure. It is found that the light emerging from the block into the liquid forms a circular bright spot of diameter $D = 11.54 \ mm$ on the top surface of the block. The refractive index of the liquid $n_L$ is:

Write the conditions for total internal reflection.

For total internal reflection to take place,the angle of incidence $i$ and the refractive index $\mu$ of the medium must satisfy the inequality
