प्रश्न
Find a critical angle for glass and water pair, given the refractive index of glass, is 1 ·62 and that of water is 1 ·33.
उत्तर
`omega^(mug)` = R.I of glass w.r.t water
=`(mug)/(muomega)`
`omega^(mug) = 1.62/1.33`
∴ sin c = `133/1.62 = 0.82`
∴ c = Critical angle = sin-1 0.82 = 55°

The mixture a pure liquid and a solution in a long vertical column (i.e, horizontal dimensions << vertical dimensions) produces diffusion of solute particles and hence a refractive index gradient along the vertical dimension. A ray of light entering the column at right angles to the vertical is deviated from its original path. Find the deviation in travelling a horizontal distance d << h, the height of the column.
