Question

A point source S is placed at the bottom of a transparent block of height 10 mm and refractive index 2.72. It is immersed in a lower refractive index liquid as shown in the figure. It is found that the light emerging from the block to the liquid forms a circular bright spot of diameter 11.54 mm on the top of the block. The refractive index of the liquid is

Solution

 

2.72 sin θ = n sin 90°

tan θ = 0.577 =   13    ⇒ θ = 30°

1.36 = n
