C. Refraction From Plane Surface
Paragraph for Questions 64 and 65
Most materials have the refractive index, n>1. So, when a light ray from air enters a naturally occurring

sin 1 n2
material, then by Snell's law,
sin 2 n1 , it is understood that the refracted ray bends towards the

normal. But it never emerges on the same side of the normal as the incident ray. According to

c
electromagnetism, the refractive index of the medium is given by the relation, n

r r ,
v
where c is the speed of electromagnetic waves in vacuum, v its speed in the medium, r
and r
are the
relative permittivity and permeability of the medium respectively.
In normal materials, both r and r are positive, implying positive n for the medium. When both r and
r
are negative, one must choose the negative root of n. Such negative refractive index materials can
now be artificially prepared and are called meta-materials. They exhibit significantly different optical
behaviour, without violating any physical laws. Since n is negative, it results in a change in the
direction of propagation of the refracted light. However, similar to normal materials, the frequency of
light remains unchanged upon refraction even in meta-materials. [IIT-JEE-2012]

F. Prism
Paragraph for Question No. 68 to 70
ABC is a right-angled prism kept in air. A ray (1) is incident on the face AB along the normal.
Refractive index of the material of prism is the minimum value that will be required so that ray (1)
undergoes total internal reflection at the face AC.
Another ray (2) is incident on the face AB such that it emerges from face AC along the normal to AC.
A third ray (3) falls on the face BC and emerges from face AC such that its angle of emergence is the
same as that of incidence. Assuming light (1), (2) and (3) to have the same frequency, answer the
