Question:

Which of the following is not based on total internal reflection?

Options:

Real and Apparent depth of a pond

Prisms designed to bend light by 90° or by 180°

Light pipe to facilitate visual examination of internal organs

Transmission of signals over long distances through optical fibres

Correct Answer:

Real and Apparent depth of a pond

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Real and Apparent depth of a pond

Real and Apparent depth of a pond is due to Refraction, not total internal reflection.

Prisms bending light by 90° or 180°, light pipes, and optical fibres all work on Total Internal Reflection.

Answer: Real and Apparent depth of a pond
