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?

Refractive index of the water, ЁЭЫНw = 4/3
Real depth at which the coin is places = 12 cm
Shift in the image = ?
Shift = `"real depth"xx(1-1/µ)`
Shift= `12(1-3/4)`
R=12/4=3 cm

How must light travel out of a substance if it is not going to be refracted?
A monochromatic ray of light passes from air to glass. The wavelength of light in air is λ, the speed of light in air is c and in glass is V. If the absolute refractive index of glass is 1.5, write down
- the relationship between c and V,
- the wavelength of light in glass.
A ray of light falls normally on the surface of a transparent glass slab. Draw a ray diagram to show its path and also mark angle of incidence and angle of emergence.
In the fig. name the ray which represents the correct path of light while passing through a glass block.

Define the term refractive index of a medium in terms of velocity of light.
Can the absolute refractive index of a medium be less than one?
Draw ray of light bending towards the normal while passing from glass to water. Label your diagrams.
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.
The diagram below shows two parallel rays A (Orange) & B (Blue) incident from air, on air-glass boundary.

- Copy and complete the path of the rays A and B.
- How do the speeds of these rays differ in glass?
- Are the two refracted rays in glass parallel? Give a reason.
