उत्तर
(i) Speed of light in air = 3 × 108 ms-1
(ii) Speed of light in glass = 2 × 108 ms-1
Refractive index of glass with respect to air
= `"Speed of light in air"/"Speed of light in glass"`
= `(3xx10^8)/(2xx10^8)`
= `3/2`
= 1.5

A student very cautiously traces the path of a ray through a glass slab for different values of the angle of incidence (∠i). He then measures the corresponding values of the angle of refraction (∠r) and the angle of emergence (∠e) for every value of the angle of incidence. On analysing these measurements of angles, his conclusion would be
(A) ∠i > ∠r > ∠e
(B) ∠i = ∠e > ∠r
(C) ∠i < ∠r < ∠e
(D) ∠i = ∠e < ∠r
