प्रश्न
Obtain the equation for critical angle.
उत्तर
The angle of incidence in the denser medium for which the refracted ray grace the boundary is called the critical angle.
Snell’s law in Product form
n1 sin ic = n2 sin 90°
n1 sin ic = n2
sin ic = `"n"_2/"n"_1`
here n1 > n2,
If the rarer medium is air
n1 = n and n2 = 1
sin ic = `1/"n"`
ic = sin-1 `1/"n"`

A tank is filled with water to a height of 12.5 cm. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be 9.4 cm. What is the refractive index of water? If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index 1.63 up to the same height, by what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again?

Determine the value of the angle of incidence for a ray of light travelling from a medium of refractive index \[\mu_1 = \sqrt{2}\] into the medium of refractive index \[\mu_2 = 1\] so that it just grazes along the surface of separation.
The refractive index of a material changes by 0.014 as the colour of the light changes from red to violet. A rectangular slab of height 2.00 cm made of this material is placed on a newspaper. When viewed normally in yellow light, the letters appear 1.32 cm below the top surface of the slab. Calculate the dispersive power of the material.
