Draw the ray diagram of a glass slab having medium A and B for the velocity of light ray VA and VB respectively and define Snell's law.

  1. If VB = 1.5 VA, then which medium is denser?
  2. What is the refractive index of A with respect to B?
  3. What is the refractive index of B with respect to A?

The diagram below shows two parallel rays A (Orange) & B (Blue) incident from air, on air-glass boundary.

  1. Copy and complete the path of the rays A and B.
  2. How do the speeds of these rays differ in glass?
  3. Are the two refracted rays in glass parallel? Give a reason.
