The velocity of light in diamond is 121000 kms-1. What is its refractive index?

उत्तर
Speed of light in diamond = 121,000 km/s
= 121 × 106 m/s
Refractive index of diamond = `"Speed of light in air"/"speed of light in diamond"`
= `(3xx10^8)/(121xx10^6"m/s")`
= 2.48

Light passes through a rectangular glass slab and through a triangular glass prism. In what way does the direction of the two emergent beams differ and why?
A ray of light strikes the surface of a rectangular glass block such that the angle of incidence in
air is 0°.
In each case, draw diagram to show the path taken by the ray as it passes through the glass block and emerges from it.
Trace the path of a ray of light incident at an angle of 45° on a rectangular glass slab. Write the measure of the angle of refraction, the angle of emergence and the lateral displacement suffered by the ray as it passes through the slab.
