A disc is placed on a surface of pond which has refractive index 5/3. A source of light is placed 4 m below the surface of liquid. The minimum radius of disc needed so that light is not coming out is

  2. 3 m
  3. 6 m
  4. 4 m

Answer

(2) 3 m

Solution

Light escapes only within a cone of semi-vertical angle C (the critical angle); the disc must cover the circle where this cone meets the surface.

C = 1 = 35

C = 34

r = h C

= 4 34

= 3 m
