प्रश्न
Choose the correct alternative and rewrite the following:
A glass slab is placed in the path of convergent light. The point of convergence of light
विकल्प
moves away from the slab
moves towards the slab
remains at the same point
undergoes lateral shift

उत्तर
moves away from the slab
If the glass slab is placed in the path of convergent light, the point of convergence or focus will shift away from the glass slab as the light passing through glass will bend towards the normal and after coming out in the air, the light will converge out at a point away from the glass slab.

When rays of light are incident on a glass slab then the incident ray and emergent ray are _________ each other.
- perpendicular
- parallel
- opposite
- concurrent
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

How can you bend light away from the normal?
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
