Right or wrong sentence.
The incident rays and refracted rays are on opposite sides of the column.
The speed of light varies in different media.

- denser to rarer medium
- normal to the surface separating the two media.
Numerical problems.
The speed of light in water is 2.25 × 108 ms–1. If the speed of light in vacuum is 3 × 108 ms–1, calculate the refractive index of water.
Assertion and reasoning type
- Assertion: If the refractive index of the medium is high (denser medium) the velocity of the light in that medium will be small
- Reason: Refractive index of the medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of the light
