How can you bend light away from the normal?
A coin is places at the bottom of a beaker containing water (refractive index = 4/3) to a depth of 12 cm. By what height the coin appears to be raised when seen from vertically above?
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)`
Four students A, B, C and D traced the paths of incident ray and the emergent ray by fixing pins P and Q for incident ray and pins R and S for emergent ray for a ray of light passing through a glass slab.

The correct emergent ray was traced by the student:
(1) A
(2) B
(3) C
(4) D
Draw an í- `delta` graph for a mono chromatic raY through a glass prism of a plane and mark
(i) `delta` m, the angle of mínimum devíation
(íí) Any two values of i for which value of `delta` ís same.
In the diagram below, PQ is a ray of light incident on a rectangular glass block.

How are the angles ‘i’ and ‘e’ related to each other?
The diagram shows the path of a ray of light through a rectangular glass block placed in a liquid of uniform density.

(a) Does the light speed up or slow down in the glass,
(b) Give the reason for your answer.
Trace a ray of light incident at 30° on a surface if travelling from glass to air. What is the angle of refraction in this case? (R.I. for glass = 3/2).
