When a ray of light from air enters a denser medium, it ______.
Complete Fig. 4.32 to show the path of the ray of single colour as it enters the prism and emerges out of it. Mark the angles wherever necessary.
A ray of light falls normally on the surface of a transparent glass slab. Draw a ray diagram to show its path and also mark angle of incidence and angle of emergence.
What is the refractive index of water
In the diagram below, PQ is a ray of light incident on a rectangular glass block.

How are the angles ‘i’ and ‘e’ related to each other?
Explain with the help of a diagram of how fish is able to see the objects above it.
Draw a diagram of a prism and label:
(i) the base,
(ii) the refracting surfaces,
(iii) the refracting edge,
(iv) the refracting angle in it.
Consider these indices of refraction: glass: 1.52; air: 1.0003; water: 1.333. Based on the refractive indices of three materials, arrange the speed of light through them in decreasing order.
