Show answer and solution
Answer: (a)
- Green just grazes the surface, so the angle of incidence equals the critical angle for green.
- ; colours with smaller (longer ) have a larger critical angle, so for them and they refract out.
- Blue and violet have larger , so and they are totally internally reflected.
- So the answer is (a) yellow, orange and red.
