A Water pond appears to be 2.7 m deep. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the actual depth of the pond.

Apparent depth = 2.7 m
`µw=4/3`
Real depth = apparent depth × ЁЭЫНw
`=2.7xx4/3=3.6 m`

Write a relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of refractions for a given pair of media
When a lighted candle is held in front of a thick plane glass mirror, several images can be seen, but the second image is the brightest, give reason.
Fig 4.31 below shows a light ray of single colour incident normally on two prisms A and B. In each case draw the path of the ray of light as it enters and emerges out of the prism. Mark the angle wherever necessary.
-
- the angle of refraction and
- the angle of deviation for the ray?
Using the curve, how do you infer that for given prism, the angle of minimum deviation δmin is unique for the given light?

A ray of light moves from a rare medium to a dense medium as shown in the diagram below. Write down the number of the ray which represents the partially reflected ray.

Draw ray of light bending towards the normal while passing from air to glass. Label your diagrams.
Two parallel rays of Red and Violet travelling through the air, meet the air-glass boundary as shown in the above figure. Will their paths inside the glass be parallel? Give a reason for your answer.

How will you verify the laws of refraction or how the refractive index of glass is determined in the laboratory?
The refractive index of glass with respect to air is 3/2. What is the refractive index of air with respect to glass?
