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"`

Explain the term absolute refractive index of a medium and write an expression to relate it with the speed of light in vacuum.
A monochromatic ray of light passes from air to glass. The wavelength of light in air is λ, the speed of light in air is c and in glass is V. If the absolute refractive index of glass is 1.5, write down
