Real questions that test this

प्रकाशाकीय तंतू हा खालीलपैकी कोणत्या तत्त्वावर आधारित आहे ? Optical fibre is based on which of the following principles ?

(a)प्रकाशाच्या परावर्तानाचे तत्वावर / Principle of reflection of light

(b)प्रकाशाच्या अपवर्तनाचे तत्वावर / Principle of refraction of light

(c)प्रकाशाच्या पूर्ण आंतरिक परावर्तानाचे तत्वावर / Principle of total internal reflection

(d)प्रकाशाच्या अपस्करण तत्वावर / Principle of dispersion of light

1)अ, ब आणि क / a, b and c
2)फक्त क / Only c✓ Correct
3)ब आणि ड / b and d
4)फक्त ड / Only d

Optical fibres work on the fundamental principle of Total Internal Reflection (TIR), where light rays traveling through the core undergo repeated total internal reflections.

डबक्यातील गुळगुळीत वाटोळ्‍या दगडाचे आपण जर निरीक्षण केल्यास तो आपल्याला / If we observe a pebble in a pool, the pebble would appear to be

1)पाण्यामध्ये खरोखरच्या खोलीपेक्षा जास्त खोल दिसेल / deeper in the water than it really is
2)आहेत्याच खोलीवर वाटेल / at the same depth at which it is
3)पृष्ठभागाजवळ प्रत्यक्ष असल्यासारखा वाटेल / nearer to the surface than it really is✓ Correct
4)अदृश्य वाटेल / invisible

Due to refraction of light, an object submerged in water appears raised, meaning it appears nearer to the surface than it actually is.
