$A$ ray of light is incident at an angle $i$ from a denser to a rarer medium. The reflected and the refracted rays are mutually perpendicular. The angle of reflection is $r$ and the angle of refraction is $r'$. Then the critical angle $C$ will be:

Four rays $1, 2, 3$ and $4$ are incident normally on the face $PQ$ of an isosceles prism $PQR$ with apex angle $\angle Q = 120^{\circ}$. The refractive indices of the material of the prism for the above rays $1, 2, 3$ and $4$ are $1.85, 1.95, 2.05$ and $2.15$ respectively and the surrounding medium is air. Then,the rays emerging from the face $QR$ are

Consider a glass cube slab of dielectric bound by the planes $x=0, x=a$; $y=0, y=b$; $z=0, z=c$; with $b > a > c$. The slab is placed in air and has a refractive index of $n$. The minimum value for $n$,such that all rays entering the dielectric at $y=0$ reach $y=b$ is
