A light ray travelling in glass medium is incident on glass-air interface at an angle of incidence $\theta$. The reflected $(R)$ and transmitted $(T)$ intensities, both as function of $\theta$, are plotted. The correct sketch is




Solution

After critical angle reflection will be $100 \%$ and transmission is $0 \%$. Options (b) and (c) satisfy this condition. But option (c) is the correct option. Because in option (b) transmission is given $100 \%$ at $\theta=0^{\circ}$, which is not true. Analysis of Question From examination point of view question is moderately difficult. Because it takes little time to understand the given graphs clearly.
