प्रश्न
Express the refractive index μ of a medium in terms of the velocity of light.

उत्तर
The refractive index ‘μ’ of an optical medium is defined as the ratio between the velocity of light in vacuum divided by the velocity of light in the given optical medium. Thus,
`µ="Velocity of light in vacuum"/"Velocity of light in the given optical medium"`

Select from the following the best experimental setup for tracing the path of a ray of light passing through a rectangular glass slab.
(a) P
(b) Q
(c) R
(d) S
A ray of light strikes the surface of a rectangular glass block such that the angle of incidence in
air is 0°.
In each case, draw diagram to show the path taken by the ray as it passes through the glass block and emerges from it.
An object is viewed through a glass prism with its vertex pointing upwards. It appears to be displaced upward. Explain the reason.
Complete Fig. 4.32 to show the path of the ray of single colour as it enters the prism and emerges out of it. Mark the angles wherever necessary.
Rewrite the following statement by selecting the correct option:
If a ray of light strikes a glass slab at an angle of 600 with the surface of the slab, the angle of incidence must be __________________.
A ray of light moves from a rare medium to a dense medium as shown in the diagram below. Write down the number of the ray which represents the partially reflected ray.
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?
Draw a diagram of a prism and label:
