प्रश्न

The diagram shows the path of a ray of light through a rectangular glass block placed in a liquid of uniform density.

What should be the rate of the speed of light through the liquid to the speed through the glass so that there is no refraction of light at the boundaries of the glass block when the system is illuminated by the light of one colour?

उत्तर

Since there is no refraction of light at the boundaries of the glass block, it is possible only when the speed of light through the liquid as well as through the block is the same. Hence the ratio between the speed of light through the liquid to the speed of light through glass must be 1 (one).

If the speed of light in vacuum is 3 × 108 ms−1, find the speed of light in a medium of absolute refractive index 1.5.


Draw diagrams to show the refraction of light from 

  1. air to glass, and
  2. glass to air. In each diagram, label the incident ray, refracted ray, the angle of incidence
  3. and the angle of refraction (r).

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. 


Fig 4.31 below shows a light ray of single colour incident normally on two prisms A and B. In each case draw the path of the ray of light as it enters and emerges out of the prism. Mark the angle wherever necessary.
