उत्तर

`"V"_"air"/"V"_"glass"=mu_"glass"/mu_"air"`

or Vglass = `3xx10^8xx1/1.5`

= 2 × 108 m/s.

What is a spectrum?


If the speed of light in vacuum is 3 × 108 ms−1, find the speed of light in a medium of absolute refractive index 1.5.


Observe the following figure and answer the questions given under it:

1) How many times does refraction take place in the above figure?

2) What happens to the ray of light when it passes from air to glass?

3) What happens to the ray of light when it passes from glass to air?

4) What are the rays AB and CD in the figure called?

5) Define refraction.


In the adjacent diagram, AO is a ray of light incident on a rectangular glass slab.

  1. Complete the path of the ray till it emerges out of the slab.
  2. In the diagram, mark the angle of incidence (i) and the angle of refraction (r) at the first interface. How is the refractive index of glass related to the angles i and r?
  3. Mark angles of emergence by the letter e. How are the angles i and e related?
  4. Which two rays are parallel to each other? Name them.
  5. Indicate in the diagram the lateral displacement between the emergent ray and the incident ray. State one factor that affects the lateral displacement.

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.


Select from the following the best set-up for tracing the path of a ray of light through a rectangular glass slab: 


(A) I

(B) II

(C) III

(D) IV


Four students showed the following traces of the path of a ray of light passing through a rectangular glass slab.

 

The trace most likely to be correct is that of student

(A) I

(B) II

(C) III

(D) IV


Four students A, B, C and D traced the paths of incident ray and the emergent ray by fixing pins P and Q for incident ray and pins R and S for emergent ray for a ray of light passing through a glass slab.

The correct emergent ray was traced by the student: 

(1) A

(2) B

(3) C

(4) D


The refractive index of air with respect to glass is defined: as gµa = sin i/sin r
If r = 90°, what is the corresponding angle i called?


Observe the figure and name the ray AB, ray CD, ray GH.
