You are given four sources of light each one providing a light of a single colour—red, blue, green and yellow. Suppose the angle of refraction for a beam of yellow light corresponding to a particular angle of incidence at the interface of two media is 90°. Which of the following statements is correct if the source of yellow light is replaced with that of other lights without changing the angle of incidence?

(a) The beam of red light would undergo total internal reflection.

(b) The beam of red light would bend towards the normal while it gets refracted through the second medium.

(c) The beam of blue light would undergo total internal

(c) According to VIBGYOR, among all given sources of light, the blue light have the smallest wavelength. According to Cauchy relationship, smaller the wavelength higher the refractive index and consequently smaller the critical angle. So, corresponding to blue colour, the critical angle is least which facilitates total internal reflection for the beam of blue light. The beam of green light would also undergo total internal reflection.

1/f=1/v-1/u

-u+V=D

U=-(D-v)

Putting $\frac{1}{D - v} + \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f}$

On solving v²-Dv+Dt=0

So v= $\frac{D}{2} ? \frac{\sqrt[]{D^{2} - 4 D f}}{2}$

When the objects distance is $\frac{D}{2} + \frac{\sqrt[]{D^{2} - 4 D t}}{2}$

The image forms at $\frac{D}{2} ? \frac{\sqrt[]{D^{2} - 4 D f}}{2}$

Similarly when the objects distance is $\frac{D}{2} + \frac{\sqrt[]{D^{2} - 4 D t}}{2}$

The image forms at $\frac{D}{2} + \frac{\sqrt[]{D^{2} - 4 D t}}{2}$

The distance between the poles for these two objects distance is

\frac{D}{2} + \frac{\sqrt[]{D^{2} - 4 D t}}{2}

\frac{D}{2} - \frac{\sqrt[]{D^{2} - 4 D t}}{2}

\sqrt[]{D^{2} - 4 D t}

Let d =

\sqrt[]{D^{2} - 4 D t}

If u = D/2+d/2 then the image is at v=D/2-d/2

The magnification m₁= $\frac{D + d}{D - d}$

If u =D-d/2then v= D+d/2

The magnification m₂= $\frac{D + d}{D - d}$

$\frac{m_{2}}{m_{1}} = \frac{{(D + d)}^{2}}{{(D - d)}^{2}}$
