What is refractive index?
You are given water, mustard oil, glycerine and kerosene. In which of these media a ray of light incident obliquely at same angle would bend the most?
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.
Which surface will not reflect most of the light falling on them?
Light is refracted or bent while going from one medium to another because of its ______ changes.
Twinkling of stars and Mirage are the two phenomena occurring due to refraction.
Assertion: The air bubble shines in water.
Reason: Air bubble shines due to the refraction of light.
When a ray of light travels normal to the given surface, then the angle of refraction is ______.
