Select from the following the best experimental setup for tracing the path of a ray of light passing through a rectangular glass slab.

(a) P
(b) Q
(c) R
(d) S
Which colour of light travels fastest in any medium except air?
Draw the diagram of refraction of light in the glass slab
The following diagram shows a 60°, 30°, 90° glass prism of critical angle 42°, Copy the diagram and complete the path of incident ray AB emerging out of the prism marking the angle of incidence on each surface.

How is the reflection of light ray from a plane mirror different from the refraction of light ray as it enters a block of glass?
Write the relation between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction for a medium.
Draw diagrams to show the refraction of light from glass to air. In diagram, label the incident ray, refracted ray, the angle of incidence (i) and the angle of refraction (r).
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.
With the help of diagram of the principal section of a prism, indicate its refracting surfaces, refracting edge and base.
Name the colour of white light which is deviated the most on passing through a prism.
A coin is places at the bottom of a beaker containing water (refractive index = 4/3) to a depth of 12 cm. By what height the coin appears to be raised when seen from vertically above?
The refractive index of glass is 1.5. From a point P inside a glass block, draw rays PA, PB and PC incident on the glass air surface at an angle of incidence 30°, 42° and 60° respectively.
- In the diagram show the approximate direction of these rays as they emerge out of the block.
- What is the angle of refraction for the ray PB?
`("Take" sin 42° =2/3)`
Fig shows a lens as a combination of a glass block and two prisms.

(i) Name the lens formed by the combination.
(ii) what is the XX' called?
(iii) Complete the ray diagram and show the path of the incident ray PQ after passing through the lens.
(iv) The final emergent ray will either meet XX' at a point or appear to come from a point on XX'. what is the point called?
Name the phenomenon responsible in the following case:
Apparent bending of a stick in water
What is the refractive index of vacuum
State the relation between the refractive index μ and the velocity of light (vm) in that medium.
What is the total reflecting prism?
