Optics 2 Question 23

23. For two structures namely S1 with n1=454 and n2=32, and S2 with n1=85 and n2=75 and taking the refractive index of water to be 43 and that to air to be 1 , the correct options is/are

(2015 Adv.)

(a) NA of S1 immersed in water is the same as that of S2 immersed in a liquid of refractive index 16315

(b) NA of S1 immersed in liquid of refractive index 615 is the same as that of S2 immersed in water

(c) NA of S1 placed in air is the same as that S2 immersed in liquid of refractive index 415

(d) NA of S1 placed in air is the same as that of S2 placed in water

Answer:

Correct Answer: 23. (a,c)

Solution:

  1. 43sini=454sin(90θc)=454cosθc

sinθc=n2n1

cosθc=1n2n12

43sini=454345

sini=916

In second case,

sinθc=n2n1=78cosθc=15816315sini=85sin(90θc)

Simplifying we get,

sini=916

Same approach can be adopted for other options. Correct answers are (a) and (c).
