Question

A ray of light travelling in glass (refractive index, ang = 3/2) is incident on a horizontal glass-air surface at the critical angle c. If a thin layer of water (refractive index, anw = 4/3) is now poured on the glass-air surface, at what angle will the ray of light emerge into air at the water-air surface?

Solution

Correct option is

90o

 

 

 The refractive index of water with respect to glass is

                     

                                      

                  

                     

The ray of light will emerge at the water-air surface into air parallel to the surface.
