a) 280-320 nm

b) 200-280 nm

c) 320-400 nm

d) 400-600 nm

An air bubble inside water behaves as a

a) Divergent lens

b) Convergent lens

c) Bifocal lens

d) Cylindrical lens

Answer: (a)

Question : 9

Total internal reflection can take place only if

a) the refractive indices of the two media are close to different

b) light goes from optically rarer medium to optically denser medium

c) light goes from optically denser medium to rarer medium

d) the refractive indices of the two media are widely different

Answer: (c)

According to Snell’s Law,

${sin i}/{sin r} = µ_2/µ_1$

where r = 90° for a particular incidence angle called the critical angle. When the incidence angle is equal to or greater than ic, then total internal reflection occurs.

It takes place when a ray of light travels from an optically denser medium ($µ_1 > µ2$) to an optically rarer medium.

Question : 10

Consider telecommunication through optical fibres. Which of the following statements is not true ?

a) Optical fibres may have homogeneous core with a suitable cladding

b) Optical fibres are subject to electromagnetic interference from outside

c) Optical fibres have extremely low transmission loss

d) Optical fibres can be of graded refractive index

Answer: (b)

Optical fibres are free from electromagnetic interference from outside.
