उत्तर
An air bubble in a glass slab of refractive index 1.5 (near normal incidence) is 5 cm deep when viewed from one surface and 3 cm deep when viewed from the opposite face. The thickness of the slab is 12 cm.
Explanation:
Given: Refractive index of glass, μ = 1.5
Apparent depth from one side = 5 cm
Apparent depth from opposite side = 3 cm
Let the actual thickness of the slab be t. When viewed from the top, the apparent depth d1 is related to the real depth by:
d1 = `t/μ`
Similarly, from the bottom:
d2 = `(t - x)/μ`
But in this case, the air bubble is fixed, and the apparent depths seen from both faces are:
`x/μ` = 5 and `(t - x)/μ` = 3
Multiplying both equations by μ:
x = 7.5 cm and t − x = 4.5 cm
Add both:
t = x + (t − x)
= 7.5 + 4.5
= 12 cm

| A ray of light travels from a denser to a rarer medium. After refraction, it bends away from the normal. When we keep increasing the angle of incidence, the angle of refraction also increases till the refracted ray grazes along the interface of two media. The angle of incidence for which it happens is called critical angle. If the angle of incidence is increased further the ray will not emerge and it will be reflected back in the denser medium. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection of light. |
The critical angle of the pair of a medium and air is 30°. The speed of light in the medium is:
