Optics Question 806

Question: A point light source is moving with a constant velocity v inside a transparent thin spherical shell of radius R, which is filled with a transparent liquid. If at t=0 light source is at the center of the sphere, then at what time a thin dark ring will be visible for an observer outside the sphere. The refractive index of liquid with respect to that of shell is 2 .

Options:

A) R2V

B) R2V

C) R3V

D) R3V

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] This dark ring will be visible if ray from source gets total internal reflection from the spherical shell.

Let the source at any instant be at point P then at point Q ray will be totally reflected if θ is equal to or greater than critical angle. If QP is equal to x, then z=cosθ=R2+x2v2t22Rx

For θ to be minimum dxdy=2x(2Rx)2R(R2+x2v2t2)4R2x2=0

x=R2v2t2

So, cosθ=2(R2v2t2)2RR2v2t2=R2v2t2R

For no light come out, sinθ12 or θ45

R2v2t2R=12;

 t=R2V
