Paragraph for questions 8 and 9 :
Most materials have the refractive index, n>1. So, when a light ray from air enters a naturally occurring material, then by Snell’s law, , 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 electromagnetism, the refractive index of the medium is given by the relation
where c is the speed of electromagnetic waves in vaccum, v its speed in the medium
and
are the relative permittivity and permeability of the medium, respectively. (JEE Advanced 2012 )
In normal materials, both and
are positive, implying positive n for the medium. When both
and
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 behavior, without violating and 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.

10 . A light ray travelling in glass medium is incident on glass-air interface at an angle of incidence . The reflected (R) and transmitted (T) intensities, both as function of
are plotted. The correct sketch is ( JEE Advanced 2011)
Solution
(c) As there is reflection of incident rays even if incident angle is zero. the percentage of transmission is less than 100 and high at zero angle of incidence. Due to the total internal reflection transmitted, the intensity becomes zero after the critical angle.
