In the figure (a) light is incident at an angle which is slightly greater than the critical angle. Now, keeping the incident ray fixed a slab of refractive index is placed on surface AB in fig. (b). Which of the following statements are correct?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C
Solution:

For n3 < n1, the critical angle at AB decreases, so TIR occurs: A.

For n3 > n2, TIR can occur at CD and the ray returns to the original medium: C.

The other statements do not hold for all refractive-index choices.
