Following are graphs of angle of deviation versus angle of incidence. Based on the above graphs mark the correct options.

Answer»

Graph-a may be a part of the graph for ray of light that travels from DENSER to rarer medium
Graph-b may be for ray of light that is totally internally reflected from a denser to rarer medium boundary.
Graph-c may be a part of the graph for ray of light that travels from rarer to denser medium.
Graph-b may be a part of the graph for ray of light that is reflected from a plane mirror.

Solution :Light travels from rarer to denser medium

`delta=i-r`
`delta=i-sin^(-1) (sini)/mu` non-linear increasing function of i.
slope of tangent `(d delta)/d_(i)=1-(COS i)/sqrt(mu^(2)-sin^(2)i)`
Slope of tangent increases as i increases Hence'c' is not the graph for light that travels from rarer to denser medium.
