What is refraction of light?
State whether the following statement is true of false:
A student says that we can see an object because light from our eyes is reflected back by the object.
What type of reflection of light takes place from a cinema screen?
State and explain the laws of reflection of light at a plane surface (like a plane mirror), With the help of a labelled ray-diagram. Mark the angles of 'incidence' and 'reflection' clearly on the diagram. If the angle of reflection is 47.5°, what will be the angle of incidence?
The image formed by a plane mirror is :
(a) virtual, behind the mirror and enlarged.
(b) virtual, behind the mirror and of the same size as the object.
(c) real, at the surface of the mirror and enlarged.
(d) real, behind the mirror and of the same size as the object.
A man stands 10 m in front of a large plane mirror. How far must the walk before he is 5 m away from his image?
State two effects caused by the refraction of light.
State whether the following statement is true or false:
Refraction occurs because light slows down in denser materials.
Why does a ray of light bend when it travels from one medium to another?
What is meant by the ‘angle of incidence’ for a ray of light?
Light travelling from a denser medium to a rarer medium along a normal to the boundary:
(a) is refracted towards the normal
(b) is refracted away from the normal
(c) goes along the boundary
(d) is not refracted

(a) 0°
(b) 45°
(c) 90°
(d) 120°
Water is optically denser than glass.
A ray of light when passes from glass to air, bends towards the normal.

Explain with diagrams how refraction of incident light takes place from
- rarer to denser medium
- denser to rarer medium
- normal to the surface separating the two media.
Numerical problems.
The speed of light in water is 2.25 × 108 ms–1. If the speed of light in vacuum is 3 × 108 ms–1, calculate the refractive index of water.
Assertion and reasoning type
- Assertion: If the refractive index of the medium is high (denser medium) the velocity of the light in that medium will be small
- Reason: Refractive index of the medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of the light
