(a) A ray of light is incident at an angle of 45° at the interface of medium (1) and medium (2) as shown in the diagram. Redraw this diagram in your answer sheet and complete it. If the angle of refraction is 30°, find the refractive index of medium (2) w.r.t. medium (1).Given: sin 45°=12 and sin30°=12

Question Image 

(b) If the second medium is water in place of medium (2), will the angle of refraction increase or decrease? Why? (Refractive index of water=43).

(a) State the laws of refraction of light. Explain the term absolute refractive index of a medium and write an expression to relate it with the speed of light in vacuum.

(b) The absolute refractive indices of two media 'A' and 'B' are 2.0 and 1.5  respectively. If the speed of light in medium 'B' is 2×108 m/s, calculate the speed of light in.

(i) Vacuum       (ii) Medium 'A'.
