The refractive index of glass is 1.5. From a point P inside a glass block, draw rays PA, PB and PC incident on the glass air surface at an angle of incidence 30°, 42° and 60° respectively.
- In the diagram show the approximate direction of these rays as they emerge out of the block.
- What is the angle of refraction for the ray PB?
`("Take" sin 42° =2/3)`

उत्तर
- A diagram with rays PA, PB and PC is shown below:
- Given, μ = 1.5
As we know,
`sin i_c = 1/mu`
substituting the values in the formula, we get,
`sin i_c = 1/1.5`
sin ic = 0.667
ic = 41.8
Hence, we can round off ic = 42°
Applying `sin r/sin i = ""_amu_g`
sin r = `""_amu_g xx sin i`
sin r = `""_amu_g xx sin 42°`
Given, sin 42° = `2/3`
and `""_amu_g = 3/2`
substituting the value in the formula, we get,
`sin r = 3/2 xx 2/3`
sin r = 1
As sin r = 1, the angle of refraction is 90°.

After a robbery, if a window has been broken, there will be tiny particles of glass. Some of these will be found at the scene of the crime and some may be caught in the thief’s clothing. If the police can prove that these particles are identical, they have a strong case.
A method of doing this is to suspend the particles of glass in a special liquid. Light of a single colour is thrown through the liquid and the particles viewed through a microscope. The temperature of the liquid is then slowly altered. This alters the speed of light through the liquid (i.e., it alters the refractive index). At one particular temperature, the particles of glass disappear. It this happens at the same temperature for both sets of glass particles, they probably came from the same broken pane of glass.
Complete and copy the diagram to show how light bends when it travels from the liquid to the glass and back to the liquid, If the light slows down in the glass.
