Glass has refractive index $\mu$ with respect to air and the critical angle for a ray of light going from glass to air is $\theta$. If a ray of light is incident from air on the glass with angle of incidence $\theta$,the corresponding angle of refraction is:

$A$ ray of light travels from an optically denser medium to a rarer medium. The critical angle for the two media is $C$. The maximum possible deviation of the refracted light ray can be:

Three rays of light,namely red $(R)$,green $(G)$ and blue $(B)$ are incident on the face $PQ$ of a right-angled prism $PQR$ as shown in the figure. The refractive indices of the material of the prism for red,green and blue wavelengths are $1.27$,$1.42$ and $1.49$ respectively. The colour of the ray$(s)$ emerging out of the face $PR$ is:

In the figure shown,for an angle of incidence $i$ at the top surface,the minimum refractive index $\mu$ needed for total internal reflection at the vertical surface will be

$A$ light ray from air is incident (as shown in figure) at one end of a glass fiber (refractive index $\mu = 1.5$) making an incidence angle of $60^o$ on the lateral surface,so that it undergoes a total internal reflection. How much time would it take to traverse the straight fiber of length $1 \ km$ (in $\mu s$)?
