A student traces the path of a ray of light through a rectangular glass slab for the different values of angle of incidence. He observes all possible precautions at each step of the experiment. At the end of the experiment, on analyzing the measurements, which of the following conclusions is he likely to draw?

(A) ∠i = ∠e < ∠r

(B) ∠i < ∠e < ∠r

(C) ∠i > ∠e > ∠r

(D) ∠i = ∠e > ∠r


Four students P, Q, R and S traced the path of a ray of light passing through a glass slab for an angle of incidence 40° and measured the angle of refraction. The values as measured them were 18°; 22°; 25° and 30° respectively. The student who has performed the experiment methodically is

(A) P

(B) Q

(C) R

(D) S


Draw diagrams to show the refraction of light from glass to air. In  diagram, label the incident ray, refracted ray, the angle of incidence (i) and the angle of refraction (r).


What do you mean by the term refraction?

Define the term refractive index of a medium. What do you understand by the statement 'the refractive index of glass is 1.5 for white light'?


Explain the meaning of the term refraction. A ray of monochromatic light is incident from air on a glass slab. Draw a ray diagram indicating the change in its path till it emerges out of the slab.
