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
Why do we get a spectrum of seven colors when white light is dispersed by a prism?
Write the relation between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction for a medium.
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.

A ray of light strikes the surface at a rectangular glass slab such that the angle of incidence is 45o.
In each case, draw diagram to show the path taken by the ray as it passes through the glass slab and emerges from it.

A ray of monochromatic light is incident from air into a glass slab. Draw a labelled ray diagram indicating the change in its path till it emerges out of the slab. In the diagram, mark the angle of incidence (i) and the angle of refraction (r) at the first interface. How is the refractive index of glass related to the angles i and r?
Draw ray of light bending towards the normal while passing from air to glass. Label your diagrams.
How will you verify the laws of refraction or how the refractive index of glass is determined in the laboratory?
