The diagram shows a point source P inside a water container. Four rays A, B, C and D starting from P are shown up to the water surface. Which of the following ray(s) will come out of the water-air interface. (Given nw = √2)
Fig. 4.62 shows a point source P inside a water container. Three rays A, B and C starting from the source P are shown up to the water surface. (a) Show in the diagram the path of these rays after striking the water surface. The critical angle for water-air surface is 48∘. (b) Name the phenomenon which the rays A, B and C exhibit.
The diagram shows a point source A inside a liquid container. Four rays P, Q, R and S starting from A are shown up to the water surface. Which of the following ray(s) will reflected inside the liquid?
A light ray coming from the Sun falls on the water surface from air at an angle of 45° as shown. If the ray got refracted by 30° on passing through the air-water interface, then calculate:
i. Refractive index of water
ii. Speed of light inside water
