Options:
  • A The ray will emerge into water with a deviation of $2^{\circ}$ from the normal
  • B The ray will be refracted into water with a deviation of $2^{\circ}$
  • C The ray will be totally internally reflected back into glass with a deviation of $50^{\circ}$
  • D The ray will be totally internally reflected back into glass with a deviation of $2^{\circ}$

The correct answer is: The ray will be totally internally reflected back into glass with a deviation of $50^{\circ}$
Given, $i=65^{\circ}$ and $i_{c}=63^{\circ}$
Since, $i>i_{c}$, so the ray undergo total internal reflection.
The angle of deviation, $d=\pi-2 i$
$$
=180^{\circ}-2\left(65^{\circ}\right)=180^{\circ}-130^{\circ}=50^{\circ}
$$
