If the refractive index of water is $\frac{4}{3}$ and that of a given glass slab immersed in it is $\frac{5}{3}$,the value of the critical angle for a ray of light tending to go from glass to water is:

  • A
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)$
  • B
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$
  • C
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)$
  • D
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)$

$A$ planar structure of length $L$ and width $W$ is made of two different optical media of refractive indices $n_1=1.5$ and $n_2=1.44$ as shown in the figure. If $L \gg W$,a ray entering from end $AB$ will emerge from end $CD$ only if the total internal reflection condition is met inside the structure. For $L = 9.6 \ m$,if the incident angle $\theta$ is varied,the maximum time taken by a ray to exit the plane $CD$ is $t \times 10^{-9} \ s$,where $t$ is. . . . . . .

$A$ right-angled isosceles prism is held on the surface of a liquid composed of miscible solvents $A$ and $B$ of refractive index $n_{A}=1.5$ and $n_{B}=1.3$,respectively. The refractive index of the prism is $n_{p}=1.5$ and that of the liquid is given by $n_{L}=C_{A} n_{A}+(1-C_{A}) n_{B}$,where $C_{A}$ is the percentage of solvent $A$ in the liquid. If $\theta_{C}$ is the critical angle at the prism-liquid interface,the plot which best represents the variation of the critical angle with the percentage of solvent is

Explain internal reflection and total internal reflection.

$A$ light wave enters from medium $1$ to medium $2$. Its velocity in the $2^{nd}$ medium is double that in the $1^{st}$ medium. For total internal reflection,the angle of incidence must be greater than.......$^o$.
