Question
Figure shows a ray of light as it travels from medium A to medium B. Refractive index of the medium B relative to medium A is
Options
`sqrt3//sqrt2`
`sqrt2//sqrt3`
`1//sqrt2`
`sqrt2`

Solution
`sqrt3//sqrt2`
Explanation -
Given :
Angle of incidence i = 60°, Angle of refraction r = 45°
Using snell's law we get,
Refractive index of medium B relative to medium A,
`"n"_("BA") = ("sin i")/("sin r")`
`= ("sin" 60)/("sin" 45)`
= `(sqrt3/2)/(1/sqrt2)`
= `sqrt3/sqrt2`

A burning candle in water
Take a shoe box, open on one side. Place a small lighted candle in it. Place a clear glass sheet (roughly 25 cm × 25 cm) in front of this candle figure. Try to locate the image of the candle behind the glass sheet. Place a glass of water at its position. Ask your friends to look at the image of the candle through the sheet of glass. Ensure that candle is not visible to your friends. Your friends will be surprised to see the candle burning in water. Try to explain the reason.
