On the basis of the experiment, "To trace the path of a ray of light through a rectangular glass slab", students of a class arrived at which one of the following conclusions?
(A) Angle of incidence is greater than the angle of emergence.
(B) Angle of emergence is smaller than the angle of refraction.
(C) Emergent ray is parallel to the refracted ray.
(D) Incident ray and emergent ray are parallel to each other.
Draw diagrams to show the refraction of light from glass to air. In diagram, label the incident ray, refracted ray, the angle of incidence (i) and the angle of refraction (r).

A Water pond appears to be 2.7 m deep. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the actual depth of the pond.
The refractive index of glass is 1.5. From a point P inside a glass block, draw rays PA, PB and PC incident on the glass air surface at an angle of incidence 30°, 42° and 60° respectively.
- In the diagram show the approximate direction of these rays as they emerge out of the block.
- What is the angle of refraction for the ray PB?
