Question Details

A light ray is incident on the surface of a sphere of refractive index 𝑛 at an angle of incidence πœƒ0. The ray partially refracts into the sphere with angle of refraction πœ™0 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 𝛼. Match the quantities mentioned in List-I with their values in List-II and choose the correct option.

1. Formula for Angle of Deviation (α):
When a light ray enters a sphere of refractive index n at an angle of incidence θ0, it refracts into the sphere with an angle of refraction φ0.
By Snell's Law:
sin(θ0)=n sin(φ0)
The ray is deviated at three stages during its path:
- At the first refraction, the deviation is:
δ1=θ0-φ0 (clockwise)
- At the internal reflection on the back surface, the angle of incidence is φ0, so the deviation is:
δ2=180°-2φ0 (clockwise)
- At the second refraction (emerging from the sphere), the angle of incidence is φ0 and the angle of emergence is θ0, so the deviation is:
δ3=θ0-φ0 (clockwise)
Therefore, the total angle of deviation α is given by:
α=δ1+δ2+δ3=(θ0-φ0)+(180°-2φ0)+(θ0-φ0)
α=180°+2θ0-4φ0

2. Analyzing List-I with the Deviation Formula:

Case (P): If n=2 and α=180°:
Substituting α=180° into the deviation formula:
180°=180°+2θ0-4φ0
 θ0=2φ0
Using Snell's Law:
sin(θ0)=n sin(φ0)
sin(2φ0)=2 sin(φ0)
2 sin(φ0)cos(φ0)=2 sin(φ0)
This equation gives two possibilities:
1) sin(φ0)=0φ0=0°θ0=0°
2) cos(φ0)=1φ0=0°θ0=0°
Thus, the only possible value of θ0 is 0°.
Hence, P → 5.

Case (Q): If n=3 and α=180°:
As derived above, α=180°θ0=2φ0.
Using Snell's Law:
sin(2φ0)=3 sin(φ0)
2 sin(φ0)cos(φ0)=3 sin(φ0)
This yields:
1) sin(φ0)=0φ0=0°θ0=0°
2) cos(φ0)=32φ0=30°θ0=2(30°)=60°
Thus, the possible values of θ0 are 60° and 0°.
Hence, Q → 2.

Case (R): If n=3 and α=180°:
From the derivation in Case (Q), the possible values of φ0 are 30° and 0°.
Hence, R → 1.

Case (S): If n=2 and θ0=45°:
Using Snell's Law:
sin(45°)=2 sin(φ0)
12=2 sin(φ0)
 sin(φ0)=12φ0=30°
Now, substitute θ0=45° and φ0=30° into the deviation formula:
α=180°+2(45°)-4(30°)
α=180°+90°-120°=150°
Thus, the possible value of α is 150°.
Hence, S → 4.
