Question

A point source S is placed at the bottom of different layers as shown in fig. The refractive index of the bottom-most layer is μ0. The refractive index of any other upper layer is 

                                                    

A ray of light starts from the source S as shown. Total internal reflection takes place at the upper surface of layer having n equal to

Solution

Correct option is

4

 

When n = 1.   

                 

                 

  

              

                

When n = 4,

               

               

When n = 5

              

             

Clearly, the total internal reflection shall take place at the top of a layer having n = 4.
