Q.

A light ray is incident on the surface of a sphere of refractive index 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.

Solution

Total deviation from the standard geometry of refraction-reflection-refraction inside a sphere:

.

Snell at entry: .

(P) , . Then , so . Substituting in Snell: . Solutions: (, hence ) or (, ). The non-trivial does not fit in the options. The trivial solution matches option (5). So P 5.

(Q) , same condition . , so , (or trivial ). values: and . Q 2.

(R) Same case, but listing values: and . R 1.

(S) , . Snell: . . S 4.

Option (A) is correct.
