(a)State the conditions for total internal reflection to take place.(b)A tank is filled with a transparent liquid to height 'H'. A coin suspended by a thread in the liquid is gradually lowered till it touches the bottom. The apparent depth is determined corresponding to different positions of the coin.(i)Plot a graph showing variation of the apparent depth with the real depth of the coin.(ii)What is the physical significance of the slope of the graph ?
(a)
State the conditions for total internal reflection to take place.
(b)
A tank is filled with a transparent liquid to height 'H'. A coin suspended by a thread in the liquid is gradually lowered till it touches the bottom. The apparent depth is determined corresponding to different positions of the coin.
(i)
Plot a graph showing variation of the apparent depth with the real depth of the coin.
(ii)
What is the physical significance of the slope of the graph ?
Marking-scheme solution
(a)
The conditions for total internal reflection to take place are:
(i)
The light should travel from denser to rarer medium.
(ii)
The angle of incidence should be greater than the critical angle for a given pair of media.
(i)
(ii)
The slope will give $\displaystyle 1/\mu$ where $\displaystyle \mu$ is refractive index as per the graph above.
