Question

White light is incident on the interface of glass and air as shown in the figure. If green light is just totally internally reflected then the emerging ray in air contains

  1. Yellow, orange, red    
  2. Violet, indigo, blue    
  3. All colours    
  4. All colours except green    

The correct answer is: Yellow, orange, red


    C equals sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent invisible function application open parentheses fraction numerator 1 over denominator mu end fraction close parentheses and mu proportional to fraction numerator 1 over denominator lambda end fraction
    Yellow, orange and red have higher wavelength than green, so m will be less for these rays, consequently critical angle for these rays will be high, hence if green is just totally internally reflected then yellow, orange and red rays will emerge out.
