A ray of light from a denser medium strikes a rarer medium at an angle of incidence i (see figure). The reflected and refracted rays make an angle of with each other. The angles of reflection and refraction are r and r'. The critical angle is
1
(tan r)
2
(cot i)
3
(tan r')
4
(tan i)

Yellow light is used in a single slit diffraction experiment with slit width of 0.6 mm. If yellow light is replaced by X-rays, then the observed pattern will reveal
1
that the central maximum is narrower
2
more number of fringes
3
less number of fringes
4
no diffraction pattern

A light ray is incident on the surface of a sphere of refractive index n at an angle of incidence . The ray partially refracts into the sphere with angle of refraction and then partly reflects from the back surface. The reflected ray then emerges out of the sphere after a partial refraction. The total angle of deviation of the emergent ray with respect to the incident ray is . Match the quantities mentioned in List-I with their values in List-II and choose the correct option.
