A pencil when dipped in water in a glass tumbler appears to be bent at the interface of air and water. Will the pencil appear to be bent to the same extent, if instead of water we use liquids like, kerosene or turpentine. Support your answer with reason.

उत्तर
The pencil when dipped in water in a glass tumbler appears to be bent at the interface of air and water due to the refraction of light. The refractive index of different mediums is different. The refractive index of kerosene and turpentine is more than the water, due to this the pencil will appear to bend more in case of kerosene or turpentine than that in case of water.
Therefore the pencil will not appear to be bent to the same extent, if instead of water we use liquids like, kerosene or turpentine.

Explain the working of a periscope.
Noor, a young student, was trying to demonstrate some properties of light in her Science project work. She kept ‘X’ inside the box (as shown in the figure) and with the help of a laser pointer made light rays pass through the holes on one side of the box. She had a small butter-paper screen to see the spots of light being cast as they emerged.
Her friend noted the following observations from this demonstration:
- Glass is optically rarer than air.
- Air and glass allow light to pass through them with the same velocity.
- Air is optically rarer than glass.
- Speed of light through a denser medium is faster than that of a rarer medium.
- The ratio: sin of angle of incidence in the first medium to the ratio of sin of angle of refraction in the second medium, gives the refractive index of the second material with respect to the first one.
Which one of the combinations of the above statements given below is correct.
When light passes from one medium to another the ray gets bent. This property of light is called ______.
Light is refracted or bent while going from one medium to another because of its ______ changes.
A water tank appears shallower when it is viewed from the top due to refraction.
Under what circumstances there won’t be any refraction of light when it enters from one medium to another?
