Questions
Refractive index of the material of a sphere of radius 10 cm is . A point source of light P is placed just inside the surface of the sphere. Then area of the surface of the sphere through which light energy can pass into surrounding air, is
detailed solution
Correct option is A
From the ray diagram, ∠PAC=∠PBC=θC=sin−1123=60o∴ ∠ACB=4θC=240o=4π3Therefore area of surface through area of surface through which rays of light can pass into surrounding area = Area AQB Solid angle ACB=ϕ=2π1−cos4θC2⇒ϕ=2π1−cos2×π3=2π1+12=3π radian∴ Area AQB=3π×R2=2π×102cm2=200π cm2Talk to our academic expert!
