उत्तर

Refractive index of glass = 1.5

Let the thickness of slab = x mm

stamp raised by = 7 mm

∴ observed depth. = (x - 7) mm

R.I = `"Real depth"/"observed depth"`

= `3/2 = x/((x - 7))`

∴ 3x - 21 = 2x

Or x = 21 mm = 2.1 cm

A ray of light strikes the surface at a rectangular glass slab such that the angle of incidence is 45o.

In each case, draw diagram to show the path taken by the ray as it passes through the glass slab and emerges from it.


The critical angle for glass-air interface is :


Choose the correct alternative and rewrite the following:

A glass slab is placed in the path of convergent light. The point of convergence of light


Write a relation between the angle of incidence (i), angle of emergence (e), angle of the prism (A), and angle of deviation (d) for a ray of light passing through an equilateral prism.


After a robbery, if a window has been broken, there will be tiny particles of glass. Some of these will be found at the scene of the crime and some may be caught in the thief’s clothing. If the police can prove that these particles are identical, they have a strong case.
A method of doing this is to suspend the particles of glass in a special liquid. Light of a single colour is thrown through the liquid and the particles viewed through a microscope. The temperature of the liquid is then slowly altered. This alters the speed of light through the liquid (i.e., it alters the refractive index). At one particular temperature, the particles of glass disappear. It this happens at the same temperature for both sets of glass particles, they probably came from the same broken pane of glass.
Complete and copy the diagram to show how light bends when it travels from the liquid to the glass and back to the liquid, If the light slows down in the glass.


A ray of monochromatic light is incident from the air on a glass slab:
(i) Draw a labelled ray diagram showing the change in the path of the ray till it emerges from the glass slab.
(ii) Name the two rays that are parallel to each other.
(iii) Mark the lateral displacement in your diagram.
