प्रश्न
What is critical angle and total internal reflection?
उत्तर
- The angle of incidence in the denser medium for which the refracted ray graces the boundary is called critical angle ic.
- The entire light is reflected back into the denser medium itself. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection.

A diver under water, looks obliquely at a fisherman standing on the bank of a lake. Would the fisherman look taller or shorter to the diver than what he actually is?
A narrow beam of light passes through a slab obliquely and is then received by an eye following figure. The index of refraction of the material in the slab fluctuates slowly with time. How will it appear to the eye? The twinkling of stars has a similar explanation.
A laser light is focussed by a converging lens. Will there be a significant chromatic aberration?
Figure shows a transparent hemisphere of radius 3.0 cm made of a material of refractive index 2.0. (a) A narrow beam of parallel rays is incident on the hemisphere as shown in the figure. Are the rays totally reflected at the plane surface? (b) Find the image formed by the refraction at the first surface. (c) Find the image formed by the reflection or by the refraction at the plane surface. (d) Trace qualitatively the final rays as they come out of the hemisphere.
