    When a wave is refracted

    A)  its path must change

    B)  its amplitude should change

    C)  its velocity must change  

    D)  its frequency must change

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The maximum possible angle of incidence is\[{{90}^{o}}\]. If the angle of prism is\[2\,\,C\], the path is as shown in figure. When angle of prism becomes slightly greater than\[2C\], the angle of incidence at the face \[AC\] becomes greater than C and so the ray suffers\[T.I.R\]. So,          \[A=2\,\,C=2{{\sin }^{-1}}\frac{1}{\mu }\] So, options [b] and [d] are correct.
