Draw a diagram showing the refraction of a light ray from water to glass. Label on it the incident ray, the angle of incidence (/), and the angle of refraction (r)
We can see the sun even when it is little below the horizon because of ______.
Light enters from air to glass having refractive index 1.50. What is the speed of light in the glass? The speed of light in vacuum is 3 × 108 m s−1.
List in proper sequence the steps of the experiment for determining the approximate focal length of a given concave mirror by obtaining the image of a distant object.
The phenomenon of change in the direction of light when it passes from one transparent medium to another is called ___________.
The refractive index of a transparent medium is always greater than ______.
Noor, a young student, was trying to demonstrate some properties of light in her Science project work. She kept ‘X’ inside the box (as shown in the figure) and with the help of a laser pointer made light rays pass through the holes on one side of the box. She had a small butter-paper screen to see the spots of light being cast as they emerged.

Her friend noted the following observations from this demonstration:
- Glass is optically rarer than air.
- Air and glass allow light to pass through them with the same velocity.
- Air is optically rarer than glass.
- Speed of light through a denser medium is faster than that of a rarer medium.
- The ratio: sin of angle of incidence in the first medium to the ratio of sin of angle of refraction in the second medium, gives the refractive index of the second material with respect to the first one.
Which one of the combinations of the above statements given below is correct.
The phenomenon of light passing through the object is called ______.
How does the light travel?
Assertion: The air bubble shines in water.
Reason: Air bubble shines due to the refraction of light.
The bottom of swimming pool appears to be less deep than the actual one because of
When a ray of light travels normal to the given surface, then the angle of refraction is ______.
