JEE Advanced 2024 — Paper 1 — Question 32
A light ray is incident on the surface of a sphere of refractive index n at an angle of incidence . The ray partially refracts into the sphere with angle of refraction 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 . Match the quantities mentioned in List-I with their values in List-II and choose the correct option.
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (P) If and , then all the possible values of will be | (1) and |
| (Q) If and , then all the possible values of will be | (2) and |
| (R) If and , then all the possible values of will be | (3) and |
| (S) If and , then all the possible values of will be | (4) |
| (5) |
