(b) greater than the angle of incidence
(c) smaller than the angle of incidence
(d) 45°
How is the reflection of light ray from a plane mirror different from the refraction of light ray as it enters a block of glass?
In fig 4.18, name the ray which represents the correct path of light while emerging out through a glass block.
A coin is places at the bottom of a beaker containing water (refractive index = 4/3) to a depth of 12 cm. By what height the coin appears to be raised when seen from vertically above?
A ray of light enters a glass slab ABDC as shown in figure and strikes at the centre O of the circular part AC of the slab. The critical angle of glass is 42°. Complete the path of the ray till it emerges out from the slab. Mark the angles in the diagram wherever necessary.
Trace the path of a ray of light incident at an angle of 45° on a rectangular glass slab. Write the measure of the angle of refraction, the angle of emergence and the lateral displacement suffered by the ray as it passes through the slab.
Why is the colour red used as a sign of danger?
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?
