$A$ beam containing red,green,and blue light is incident on a prism. Their refractive indices are $1.39, 1.44$,and $1.47$ respectively. Then,the prism:

What should be the maximum acceptance angle at the air-core interface of an optical fibre if $n_1$ and $n_2$ are the refractive indices of the core and the cladding respectively?

When a rectangular metal tank is filled to the top with an unknown liquid,an observer with eyes level with the top of the tank can just see the corner $E$. $A$ light ray that refracts towards the observer at the top surface of the liquid is shown. The refractive index of the liquid is:

The figure shows a transparent block of side lengths $a$ and $a$. The third dimension of the block is negligible. $A$ point source $S$,which can emit light in all directions,can move inside the block. It is desired that no light from $S$ should pass through the segment $AB$. The region in which $S$ must be present to satisfy this condition is shown by the shaded region. Choose the correct option.

Why is the brilliance of a diamond observed?

$A$ small bulb is placed at the bottom of a tank containing water to a depth of $\sqrt{7} \; m$. The refractive index of water is $\frac{4}{3}$. The area of the surface of water through which light from the bulb can emerge out is $x \,\pi \; m^{2}$. The value of $x$ is ...............
