प्रश्न
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
पर्याय
moves away from the slab
moves towards the slab
remains at the same point
undergoes lateral shift
Advertisements
उत्तर
moves away from the slab
If the glass slab is placed in the path of convergent light, the point of convergence or focus will shift away from the glass slab as the light passing through glass will bend towards the normal and after coming out in the air, the light will converge out at a point away from the glass slab.

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.
