उत्तर

Refractive index of glass = 1.5

Let the thickness of slab = x mm

stamp raised by = 7 mm

∴ observed depth. = (x - 7) mm

R.I = `"Real depth"/"observed depth"`

= `3/2 = x/((x - 7))`

∴ 3x - 21 = 2x

Or x = 21 mm = 2.1 cm

A student very cautiously traces the path of a ray through a glass slab for different values of the angle of incidence (∠i). He then measures the corresponding values of the angle of refraction (∠r) and the angle of emergence (∠e) for every value of the angle of incidence. On analysing these measurements of angles, his conclusion would be

(A) ∠i > ∠r  > ∠e

(B) ∠i = ∠e  > ∠r

(C) ∠i < ∠r  < ∠e

(D) ∠i = ∠e  < ∠r
