$A$ transparent solid cylindrical rod has a refractive index of $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$. It is surrounded by air. $A$ light ray is incident at the mid-point of one end of the rod as shown in the figure. The incident angle $\theta$ for which the light ray grazes along the wall of the rod is

$A$ point source of light is placed $4 \, cm$ below the surface of water with a refractive index of $\mu = 5/3$. What is the minimum diameter of a disc that should be placed over the source to stop all light from coming out of the water? (in $m$)

$A$ ray of light enters from a rarer to a denser medium. The angle of incidence is $i$. Then the reflected and refracted rays are mutually perpendicular to each other. The critical angle for the pair of media is

Light is incident from a medium into air at two possible angles of incidence $(A) \ 20^o$ and $(B) \ 40^o$. In the medium,light travels $3.0 \ cm$ in $0.2 \ ns$. The ray will

Assertion: Critical angle is minimum for violet colour.
Reason: Because critical angle $\theta_c = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{\mu} \right)$ and $\mu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}$.
