Draw a labelled ray diagram to show how a ray of light is refracted when it passes:
from air into an optically denser medium.
Important Questions on Refraction of Light
Draw a labelled ray diagram to show how a ray of light is refracted when it passes:
from an optically denser medium into air.
The diagram given alongside shows a ray of light entering a rectangular block of glass.
Copy the diagram and draw the normal at the point of entry.
The diagram given alongside shows a ray of light entering a rectangular block of glass.
Draw the approximate path of the ray of light through the glass block and out of the other side.
Light travels more quickly through water than through glass.
Which is optically denser: water or glass?
Light travels more quickly through water than through glass.
If a ray of light passes from glass into water, how will it bend: towards the normal or away from the normal?
Draw a labelled ray diagram to show how a ray of light passes through a parallel sided glass block if it hits the glass block at (that is, perpendicular to the glass block).
Draw a labelled ray diagram to show how a ray of light passes through a parallel sided glass block:
if it hits the glass block at an angle of other than (that is, obliquely to the glass block).
