Write scientific reason.
The bottom of a pond appears raised.

उत्तर
- The rays of light coming from the bottom of a pond bend away from the normal as they travel from water (denser medium) to air (rarer medium).
- Hence, they appear to come from a point above the actual point from which they come. Therefore, the bottom of the pond appears raised.

Explain with diagrams how refraction of incident light takes place from
- rarer to denser medium
- denser to rarer medium
- normal to the surface separating the two media.

- Assertion: If the refractive index of the medium is high (denser medium) the velocity of the light in that medium will be small
- Reason: Refractive index of the medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of the light
