प्रश्न
A ray of monochromatic light is incident from air into a glass slab. Draw a labelled ray diagram indicating the change in its path till it emerges out of the slab. In the diagram, mark the angle of incidence (i) and the angle of refraction (r) at the first interface. How is the refractive index of glass related to the angles i and r?

उत्तर
The labelled ray diagram is shown in the figure.

Refractive index of glass = `Sin "i"/Sin "r"`

Define the term refractive index of a medium. What do you understand by the statement 'the refractive index of glass is 1.5 for white light'?
Light of a single colour is passed through a liquid having a piece of glass suspended in it. On changing the temperature of liquid, at a particular temperature, the glass piece is not seen.
Why is the light of a single colour used ?
A ray of light passes from water to air. How does the speed of light change?
