उत्तर

(i) Speed of light in air = 3 × 10ms-1
(ii) Speed of light in glass = 2 × 10ms-1

Refractive index of glass with respect to air

= `"Speed of light in air"/"Speed of light in glass"`

= `(3xx10^8)/(2xx10^8)`

= `3/2`

= 1.5

On the basis of the experiment, "To trace the path of a ray of light through a rectangular glass slab", students of a class arrived at which one of the following conclusions?

(A) Angle of incidence is greater than the angle of emergence.

(B) Angle of emergence is smaller than the angle of refraction.

(C) Emergent ray is parallel to the refracted ray.

(D) Incident ray and emergent ray are parallel to each other.


Draw the diagram given below and clearly show the path taken by the emergent ray.


Draw diagrams to show the refraction of light from 

  1. air to glass, and
  2. glass to air. In each diagram, label the incident ray, refracted ray, the angle of incidence
  3. and the angle of refraction (r).
