Question

Kelper used total internal reflection in a glass block to deflect a beam of light as shown in the figure. For an angle of the incidence i at the top surface, the minimum refractive index (n) needed for total internal reflection at the vertical surface is (the surrounding medium is air for which n=1)

A monochromatic light is incident from air on a refracting surface of a prism of angle 75o and refractive index n0=3. The other refracting surface of the prism is coated by a thin film of material of refractive index n as shown in figure. The light suffers total internal reflection at the coated prism surface for an incidence angle of θ60o. The value of n2 is .
