Optics 7 Question 11

11. A light ray travelling in glass medium is incident on glass-air interface at an angle of incidence $\theta$. The reflected $(R)$ and transmitted $(T)$ intensities, both as function of $\theta$, are plotted. The correct sketch is

(2011) (a)

(b)

(c)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. After critical angle reflection will be $100 %$ and transmission is $0 %$. Options (b) and (c) satisfy this condition. But option (c) is the correct option. Because in option (b) transmission is given $100 %$ at $\theta=0^{\circ}$, which is not true.
