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.
рдЙрддреНрддрд░
Apparent depth = 2.7 m
`µw=4/3`
Real depth = apparent depth × ЁЭЫНw
`=2.7xx4/3=3.6 m`

Light passes through a rectangular glass slab and through a triangular glass prism. In what way does the direction of the two emergent beams differ and why?
With the help of diagram of the principal section of a prism, indicate its refracting surfaces, refracting edge and base.
In fig 4.18, name the ray which represents the correct path of light while emerging out through a glass block.
The critical angle for glass-air is 45° for the light of yellow colour. State whether it will be less than, equal to, or more than 45° for (i) ref light, (ii) blue 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)`
A ray of light OP passes through a right angles prism as shown in the adjacent diagram.
(a) State the angles of incidence at the faces AC and BC.
(b) Name the phenomenon which the ray suffers at the face AC.
A ray of light passes from water to air. How does the speed of light change?
In what condition a prism is said to be in the position of minimum deviation? What is the direction of the refracted ray inside the prism in this condition?
The diagram shows the path of a ray of light through a rectangular glass block placed in a liquid of uniform density.
Show with the help of a ray diagram the path of the ray when incident ray normally falls on the first surface of the glass block and passes through the block and the liquid.
Consider these indices of refraction: glass: 1.52; air: 1.0003; water: 1.333. Based on the refractive indices of three materials, arrange the speed of light through them in decreasing order.
