प्रश्न
Why is the ratio of the velocities of light of wavelengths 4000Å and 8000Å in vacuum 1: 1?

उत्तर
In vacuum light or any electromagnetic wave velocity is always constant 3 × 108 m/s and it does not depend on wavelength or frequency.

For which colour of white light, is the refractive index of a transparent medium the most?
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.
In the adjacent diagram, AO is a ray of light incident on a rectangular glass slab.
- Complete the path of the ray till it emerges out of the slab.
