Light travels a distance '$x$' in time '$t_0$' in air and '$4x$' in time '$t_1$' in another denser medium. The critical angle for this medium is

  • A
    $\sin^{-1} (\frac{t_1}{4t_0})$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1} (\frac{4t_0}{t_1})$
  • C
    $\sin^{-1} (\frac{4t_1}{t_0})$
  • D
    $\sin^{-1} (\frac{t_0}{4t_1})$

$A$ ray of light enters from air into a denser medium of refractive index $\mu = \frac{4}{3}$,as shown in the figure. The light ray undergoes total internal reflection at the adjacent surface as shown. The maximum value of angle $\theta$ should be equal to -

$A$ point source of light is placed at a distance $h$ below the surface of a large deep lake. What is the percentage of light energy that escapes directly from the water surface if the refractive index $\mu$ of the water is $4/3$ (in $\%$)? (Neglect partial reflection)

$A$ water-proof laser pointer of length $10 \,cm$ is placed in a water tank. It rotates about a horizontal axis passing through its centre of mass in a vertical plane as shown in the figure. The time period of rotation is $60 \,s$. Assuming the water to be still and no reflections from the surface of the tank, the duration for which the light beam escapes the tank in one time period is close to ............. $s$. (Take, refractive index of water $= 1.33$)

What is total internal reflection?

$A$ light wave travelling linearly in a medium of dielectric constant $4$ is incident on the horizontal interface separating the medium from air. The angle of incidence for which the total intensity of the incident wave will be reflected back into the same medium is (Given: relative permeability of the medium $\mu_{r} = 1$) (in $^{\circ}$)
