Hence, . But ,
1 3 1 v2

where v1 is velocity of light in first medium &v2 is velocity of light in second medium.
Hence, speed of light in medium B is ¾ of that in medium A. Therefore, (A) is correct.
2
Since 1 , it means, second medium is denser than the first medium. Hence, total

internal reflection can not take place. Therefore, (B) is incorrect.

Since , therefore, 2 1 .

If µ3< µ1, critical angle C2 for interface GF will be given by sin C2 = 3

Hence C2<C1 2. Hence, total internal reflection will take

place at interface GF. Therefore, (A) is correct.

Hence, sin C2> sin C1.

Angle of refraction (r) will be given by or sin r sin .

Critical angle C3 for face DE is given by sin C3 .

But sin r sin . Hence, sin r is

is infinitesimally greater than sin C3.

Since angle of incidence for interface DE is
equal to r, as shown in figure, therefore, total
internal reflection will now take place at face
DE. Hence (C) is correct. Since (A) and (C) are correct, therefore, (D) is incorrect.

43. When the ray suffers minimum deviation, it becomes parallel to base of prism P. As
prisms Q and R are of identical shape and of the same material, therefore, the ray
continues to be parallel to the base of prism Q and R. Hence, the deviation remains
same as before.

46. Here, i = 60 0 .
As the ray emerges from the sphere parallel to line AB, therefore, net deviation of the
ray, = 60º. But, deviation on two refractions through a sphere = 2 (i – r).

47. As is clear from fig., the ray incident at 45º will emerge at 45º after reflection at the
silvered surface. Therefore, angle between incident ray and emergent ray is 90º, i.e.
