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

- Complete the path of the ray till it emerges out of the slab.
- 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?
- Mark angles of emergence by the letter e. How are the angles i and e related?
- Which two rays are parallel to each other? Name them.
- Indicate in the diagram the lateral displacement between the emergent ray and the incident ray. State one factor that affects the lateral displacement.

उत्तर
- The ray's path through the glass slab is complete.
- `""^amu_g = "R.I glass" = sin i/sin r`

- Angle of emergence ∠e is marked ∠i = ∠e
- Emergent ray BD and incident ray AO are parallel.
- DE shows the lateral displacement.
The following factors affect lateral displacement:
- The angle of incidence.
- The glass slab's (or medium's) thickness.
- Refractive index of glass.

The figure shows two prisms A and B. A monochromatic ray of light PO is incident at the face of the prism A. Complete the diagram to show the path of the ray till it emerges out of the prism B.

The diagram shows the path of a ray of light through a rectangular glass block placed in a liquid of uniform density.

What should be the rate of the speed of light through the liquid to the speed through the glass so that there is no refraction of light at the boundaries of the glass block when the system is illuminated by the light of one colour?
