ray-optics-and-optical-instruments Question 31

Question: Q. 6. (i) Write the necessary conditions for the phenomenon of total internal reflection to occur.

(ii) Write the relation between the refractive index and critical angle for a given pair of optical media.

R [Delhi I, II, III 2013]

Show Answer

Solution:

Ans. Conditions for Total internal reflection are

(i) Incident ray is in denser medium.

(ii) Angle of incidence should be larger than critical angle.

$$ n_{12}=\frac{1}{\sin C} $$

Where $C$ is the critical angle.
