The cochlea detects sound and is tonotopically organized

The cochlea is the auditory sense organ within the inner ear that is responsible for hearing. The cochlea is a coiled, fluid-filled tube that is split into three chambers by two membranes, Reissner's membrane and the basilar membrane

2) Lens

3) Concave- curves inwards. Diverges light

b.Convex- curves outward. Converges light

4) The image is real if the distance of the object from the lens is greater than the focal length and virtual if it is less than the focal length

Light is incident along the normal to face AB of a glass prism of refractive index 1.54. Find αmax, the largest value the angle

marusya05 [52]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to Snell's law.

Snell's law establishes that reflection is subject to

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2$

Where,

$\theta =$ Angle between the normal surface at the point of contact

n = Indices of refraction for corresponding media

The total internal reflection would then be given by

$n_1 sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2$

$(1.54) sin\theta_1 = (1.33)sin(90)$

$sin\theta_1 = \frac{1.33}{1.54}$

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.54})$

$\theta = 59.72\°$

Therefore the $\alpha_{max}$ would be equal to

$\alpha = 90\°-\theta$

$\alpha = 90-59.72$

$\alpha = 30.27\°$

Therefore the largest value of the angle α is 30.27°
