State and explain the laws of reflection of light at a plane surface (like a plane mirror), With the help of a labelled ray-diagram. Mark the angles of 'incidence' and 'reflection' clearly on the diagram. If the angle of reflection is 47.5°, what will be the angle of incidence?
The figure given alongside shows the image of a clock as seen a plane mirror. The correct time is:
Figure
(a) 2.25

State two effects caused by the refraction of light.
As light rays pass from water into glass, are they refracted towards the normal or away from the normal?
State whether the following statement is true or false:
Refraction occurs because light slows down in denser materials.
What is meant by 'refraction of light'? Draw a labelled ray diagram to show the refraction of light.
With the help of a diagram, show how when light falls obliquely on the side of a rectangular glass slab, the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray.
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
Light travels fastest in a vacuum. Why?
Which is optically denser out of the two medium M1& M2 having the refractive indices = 1.71 and 1.36 respectively?
