प्रश्न
Write the approximate values of speed of light in (i) air and (ii) glass. Use these values to calculate the refractive index of glass with respect to air.

उत्तर
(i) Speed of light in air = 3 × 108 ms-1
(ii) Speed of light in glass = 2 × 108 ms-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

A ray of monochromatic light is incident from air into a glass slab. Draw a labelled ray diagram indicating the change in its path till it emerges out of the slab. In the diagram, mark the angle of incidence (i) and the angle of refraction (r) at the first interface. How is the refractive index of glass related to the angles i and r?
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.
