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 circular disc of radius ‘R’ is placed co-axially and horizontally inside an opaque hemispherical bowl of radius ‘a’ (Figure). The far edge of the disc is just visible when viewed from the edge of the bowl. The bowl is filled with transparent liquid of refractive index µ and the near edge of the disc becomes just visible. How far below the top of the bowl is the disc placed?
