JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 27th July Morning Shift - No. 23)

A prism of refractive index n1 and another prism of refractive index n2 are stuck together (as shown in the figure). n1 and n2 depend on $$\lambda$$, the wavelength of light, according to the relation

$${n_1} = 1.2 + {{10.8 \times {{10}^{ - 14}}} \over {{\lambda ^2}}}$$ and $${n_2} = 1.45 + {{1.8 \times {{10}^{ - 14}}} \over {{\lambda ^2}}}$$

The wavelength for which rays incident at any angle on the interface BC pass through without bending at that interface will be _____________ nm.

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 27th July Morning Shift Physics - Geometrical Optics Question 116 English
Answer
600

Explanation

For no bending, n1 = n2

$$1.2 + {{10.8 \times {{10}^{ - 14}}} \over {{\lambda ^2}}}$$ = $$1.45 + {{1.8 \times {{10}^{ - 14}}} \over {{\lambda ^2}}}$$

On solving,

9 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$14 = 25$$\lambda$$2

$$\lambda$$ = 6 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$7

$$\lambda$$ = 600 nm
