Draw the diagram of a right-angled isosceles prism which is used to make an invented image erect.
In the given figure PQ and PR are the two light rays emerging from an object P. The ray PQ is refracted as QS.
- State the special name given to the angle of incidence ∠PQN of the ray PQ.
- What is the angle of refraction for the refracted ray QS?
- Name the phenomenon that occurs if the angle of incidence ∠PQN is increased.
- The ray PR suffers partial reflection and refraction on the water-air surface. Give reason.
- Draw in the diagram the refracted ray for the incident ray PR and hence show the position of image of the object P by the letter P’ when seen vertically from above.
Two isosceles right-angle glass prisms P and Q are placed near each other as shown in Fig. Complete the path of the light ray entering the prism P till it emerges out of the prism Q.
Can light be ‘piped’ like sound in a doctor’s stethoscope?
State two advantages of using a right-angle prism as a reflector, rather than a plane mirror.
Explain ‘mirage’ as an illustration of refraction.
Answer the following question.
What are the advantages of optical fibre communication over electronic communication?
- Assertion (A): Propagation of light through an optical fibre is due to total internal reflection taking place at the core-cladding interface.
- Reason (R): Refractive index of the material of the cladding of the optical fibre is greater than that of the core.
