Question

The figure shows the path of a ray of light as it passes through three different materials with refractive indices n1, n2 and n3. The figure is drawn to scale. The refractive indices of the material satisfy relation

  1. n subscript 3 end subscript less than n subscript 2 end subscript less than n subscript 1 end subscript    
  2. n subscript 3 end subscript less than n subscript 1 end subscript less than n subscript 2 end subscript    
  3. n subscript 2 end subscript less than n subscript 1 end subscript less than n subscript 3 end subscript    
  4. n subscript 1 end subscript less than n subscript 3 end subscript less than n subscript 2 end subscript    

The correct answer is: n subscript 3 end subscript less than n subscript 2 end subscript less than n subscript 1 end subscript

A ray R1 is incident on the plane surface of the glass slab (kept in air) of refractive index square root of 2 at angle of incident equal to the critical angle for this air glass system. The refracted ray R2 undergoes partial reflection & refraction at the other surface. The angle between reflected ray R3 and the refracted ray R4 at that surface is :
