The speed of light in air is 3 × 108 ms-1. Calculate the speed of light in water. The refractive index of water is 4/3.

उत्तर
The refractive index of water `="Speed of light in air"/"Speed of light in water"`
∴ Speed of light in water `="Speed of light in air"/"Refractive index of water"`
= `(3xx10^8)/(4//3)`
= 2.25 × 108 ms−1.

Draw a diagram to show the refraction of a monochromatic light ray through an equilateral prism. On the diagram, label the incident, refracted, and emergent rays. It also indicates the angle of deviation by the letter δ.
A ray of light strikes the surface of a rectangular glass slab such that the angle of incidence in air is
- 0°,
- 45°.
In each case, draw a diagram to show the path taken by the ray as it passes through the glass slab and emerges from it.
