A glass slab is placed over a page on which the word VIBGYOR is printed with each letter in its corresponding colour.

  1. Will the image of all the letters be in the same place?
  2. If not, the state which letter will be raised to the maximum. Give a reason for your answer.

A ray of light moves from a rare medium to a dense medium as shown in the diagram below. Write down the number of the ray which represents the partially reflected ray.


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.


Trace a ray of light incident at 30° on a surface if travelling from air to glass. What is the angle of refraction in this case? (R.I. for glass = 3/2).
