A coin is places at the bottom of a beaker containing water (refractive index = 4/3) to a depth of 12 cm. By what height the coin appears to be raised when seen from vertically above?

Refractive index of the water, ЁЭЫНw = 4/3
Real depth at which the coin is places = 12 cm
Shift in the image = ?
Shift = `"real depth"xx(1-1/µ)`
Shift= `12(1-3/4)`
R=12/4=3 cm

A ray of light passes from water to air. How does the speed of light change?
For which colour of white light, is the refractive index of a transparent medium the most?
A light ray in passing from water to a medium
(a) speeds up
(b) slows down. In each case, give one example of the medium.
What do you understand by the statement the refractive index of glass is 1.5 for white light?
In the fig. name the ray which represents the correct path of light while passing through a glass block.

A glass slab is placed over a page on which the word VIBGYOR is printed with each letter in its corresponding colour.
- Will the image of all the letters be in the same place?
- If not, the state which letter will be raised to the maximum. Give a reason for your answer.
Calculate the velocity of light in a glass block of refractive index 1.5. (Velocity of light in air = 3 × 108 m/s)

What is lateral displacement?
