उत्तर
(i) There is no absorption of light in a prism and hence the image is brighter.
(ii) Image is sharper in case of the prism.

State the relation between the critical angle and the absolute refractive index of a medium.
Prove the statement.
A rainbow is the combined effect of the refraction, dispersion, and total internal reflection of light.
Swarali has got the following observations while doing an experiment. Answer her questions with the help of observations.
Swarali observed that the light bent away from the normal, while travelling from dense medium to rarer medium. When Swarali increased the values of angle of incidence (i), the values of angle of refraction (r) went on increasing. But at a certain angle of incidence, the light rays returned into the dense medium.
So, Swarali has some questions. Answer them –
a) Name this certain value of ‘i ’. What is the value of ‘r’ at that time ?
b) Name this process of returning of light in dense medium. Explain the process.
