Which of the following statements are correct? (A) Total internal reflection occurs when a ray of light travels from a rarer transparent medium to a denser medium. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(B) and (C) only (A) and (B) only (B), (C) and (D) only (C) and (D) only |
(B), (C) and (D) only |
The correct answer is Option (3) → (B), (C) and (D) only Analysis of the statements: (A) False — Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium. (B) True — In total internal reflection, the ray remains in the same (denser) medium after reflection. (C) True — The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection (law of reflection holds). (D) True — For total internal reflection, refraction does not occur; the refracted ray disappears. Correct statements: (B), (C), and (D) |
