प्रश्न
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.

उत्तर
When the speed increases it means that the refractive index of the medium is less than that of water.
When the speed decreases it means that the refractive index of the medium is greater than that of water.

Draw the diagram of refraction of light in the glass slab
How must light travel out of a substance if it is not going to be refracted?
The refractive index of glass is 1.5. From a point P inside a glass block, draw rays PA, PB and PC incident on the glass air surface at an angle of incidence 30°, 42° and 60° respectively.
- In the diagram show the approximate direction of these rays as they emerge out of the block.
- What is the angle of refraction for the ray PB?
`("Take" sin 42° =2/3)`
A ray of light enters a glass slab ABDC as shown in figure and strikes at the centre O of the circular part AC of the slab. The critical angle of glass is 42°. Complete the path of the ray till it emerges out from the slab. Mark the angles in the diagram wherever necessary.
