Question
When light travels from an optically denser medium to a rarer medium, why does the critical angle of incidence depend on the color of the light?
✓
Answer
Refractive indices are different for different wavelengths of colour. $\mu=\frac{a+b}{\lambda^2}$, hence the value of critical angle $\sin i_c=\frac{i}{\mu}$ is also different for different colours.

→Spring fitted doors close by themselves when released. You want to keep the door open for a long time, say for an hour. If you put a half kg stone in front of the open door, it does not help.

Explain why a much lighter piece of wood is able to keep the door open while the heavy stone fails.
