$A$ ray of light enters from air into a denser medium of refractive index $\mu = \frac{4}{3}$,as shown in the figure. The light ray undergoes total internal reflection at the adjacent surface as shown. The maximum value of angle $\theta$ should be equal to -

  • A
    $\sin ^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$
  • B
    $\sin ^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}$
  • C
    $\sin ^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}$
  • D
    $\sin ^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{5}}{4}$

$A$ 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 $B$?

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

Assertion : In optical fibre,the diameter of the core is kept small.
Reason : This smaller diameter of the core ensures that the fibre should have incident angle more than the critical angle required for total internal reflection.

At the interface between two materials having refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2$,the critical angle for reflection of an electromagnetic wave is $\theta_{1C}$. The $n_2$ material is replaced by another material having refractive index $n_3$,such that the critical angle at the interface between $n_1$ and $n_3$ materials is $\theta_{2C}$. If $n_3 > n_2 > n_1$,$\frac{n_2}{n_3} = \frac{2}{5}$,and $\sin \theta_{2C} - \sin \theta_{1C} = \frac{1}{2}$,then $\theta_{1C}$ is:

The critical angle for a denser-rarer interface is $45^{\circ}$. The speed of light in the rarer medium is $3 \times 10^8 \, m/s$. The speed of light in the denser medium is:
