Using the curve, how do you infer that for given prism, the angle of minimum deviation δmin is unique for the given light?
Name the phenomenon responsible in the following case:
Apparent bending of a stick in water
Name the phenomenon responsible in the following case:

Name one main factor on which the direction of bending of a ray of light depends.
In the diagram below, PQ is a ray of light incident on a rectangular glass block.
How are the angles ‘i’ and ‘e’ related to each other?
After a robbery, if a window has been broken, there will be tiny particles of glass. Some of these will be found at the scene of the crime and some may be caught in the thief’s clothing. If the police can prove that these particles are identical, they have a strong case.
A method of doing this is to suspend the particles of glass in a special liquid. Light of a single colour is thrown through the liquid and the particles viewed through a microscope. The temperature of the liquid is then slowly altered. This alters the speed of light through the liquid (i.e., it alters the refractive index). At one particular temperature, the particles of glass disappear. It this happens at the same temperature for both sets of glass particles, they probably came from the same broken pane of glass.
Complete and copy the diagram to show how light bends when it travels from the liquid to the glass and back to the liquid, If the light slows down in the glass.
Calculate the velocity of light in a glass block of refractive index 1.5. (Velocity of light in air = 3 × 108 m/s)
