A light ray in passing from water to a medium
(a) speeds up
(b) slows down. In each case, give one example of the medium.

उत्तर
When the speed increases it means that the refractive index of the medium is less than that of water.
When the speed decreases it means that the refractive index of the medium is greater than that of water.

A student very cautiously traces the path of a ray through a glass slab for different values of the angle of incidence (∠i). He then measures the corresponding values of the angle of refraction (∠r) and the angle of emergence (∠e) for every value of the angle of incidence. On analysing these measurements of angles, his conclusion would be
(A) ∠i > ∠r > ∠e
(B) ∠i = ∠e > ∠r
(C) ∠i < ∠r < ∠e
(D) ∠i = ∠e < ∠r
