Q.

A wide slab consisting of two media of refractive indices n1 and n2 is placed in air as shown in the figure. A ray of light is incident from medium n1 to n2 at an angle θ , where sin θ is slightly larger than 1/n1 . Take refractive index of air as 1. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct ?

a

The light ray is reflected back into the medium of refractive index n1 if n2 = 1

b

The light ray enters air if n2 = n1

c

The light ray is finally reflected back into the medium of refractive index n1 if n2 < n1

d

The light ray is finally reflected back into the medium of refractive index n1 if n2 > n1

answer is B, C, D.

Detailed Solution

n1sinθ=n2sinr

sinθ is given slightly greater than 1n1. If  'n2' medium was not present then ray would have suffered TIR at n1 and air interface.

sinθ=n2n1sinr n2n1sinr1n1

sinr1n2As sin r is slightly greater than 1n2, the ray will come back into n2 and finally n1 medium irrespective of value of n2 . Also if n1 = n2 the light ray does not enter into air
