Question

In the diagram shown, a ray of light is incident on the interface between 1 and 2 at angle slightly greater than critical angle. The light suffers total internal reflection at this interface. After that the light ray falls at the interface of 1 and 3, and again it suffers total internal reflection. Which of the following relations should hold true?

  1. mu subscript 1 less than mu subscript 2 less than mu subscript 3
  2. mu subscript 2 superscript 2 minus mu subscript 2 superscript 2 greater than mu subscript 3 superscript 2
  3. mu subscript 1 superscript 2 minus mu subscript 3 superscript 2 greater than mu subscript 2 superscript 2
  4. mu subscript 1 superscript 2 plus mu subscript 2 superscript 2 greater than mu subscript 3 superscript 2

The correct answer is: mu subscript 1 superscript 2 minus mu subscript 3 superscript 2 greater than mu subscript 2 superscript 2
