If the speed of light in vacuum is 3 × 108 ms−1, find the speed of light in a medium of absolute refractive index 1.5.
Why is the ratio of the velocities of light of wavelengths 4000Å and 8000Å in vacuum 1: 1?
Write the relation between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction for a medium.
What do you understand by the statement the refractive index of glass is 1.5 for white light?
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?
`("Take" sin 42° =2/3)`

Fig shows a lens as a combination of a glass block and two prisms.

(i) Name the lens formed by the combination.
(ii) what is the XX' called?
(iii) Complete the ray diagram and show the path of the incident ray PQ after passing through the lens.
