MEDIUM
On which principle do lenses work?
EASY
Define absolute refractive index of a medium.
HARD

Four students reported the following observation tables for the experiment to trace the path of a ray of light passing through a glass slab for different angles of incidence. The observation likely to be correct are those of student.

EASY
You are given water, mustard oil, glycerine and kerosene. In which of these media, a ray of light incident obliquely at the same angle would bend the most?
EASY
Refractive index of two material mediums X and Y are 1.3 and 1.5 respectively. In which of the two, the light would travel faster?
MEDIUM

A student does the experiment on tracing the path of a ray of light passing through a rectangular glass slab for different angles of incidence. He can get a correct measure of the angles of incidence and angles of emergence by following the label indicated in figure.

MEDIUM
Explain with the help of a diagram why a pencil partly immersed in water appears to be bent at the water surface.
EASY

Beams of light are incident through the holes A and B and emerge out of box through the holes C and D respectively as shown in figure. Which of the following could be inside the box?
Question Image

EASY
Why does a ray of light bends when it travels from one medium to another?
MEDIUM

A student performs the experiment on tracing the path of ray of light passing through a rectangular glass slab for different angles of incidence. He measures the angle of incidence i, angle refraction r and angle of emergence e for all his observations. He would find that in all cases.

EASY

A student very cautiously traces the path of a ray through a glass slab for different values of the angle of incidence (i). He then measures the corresponding values of the angle of refraction (r) and the angle of emergence (e) for every value of the angle of incidence. On analysing these measurements of angles, his conclusion would be:

MEDIUM
Discuss the case in which a convex lens behaves as a diverging lens.
MEDIUM

The path of a ray of light coming from air passing through a rectangular glass slab traced by four students are shown as A, B, C and D in figure. Which one of them is correct?

EASY
What happens when a ray of light strikes the surface of separation between the two media at right angle?
EASY
When light rays pass through a lens, they bend and change their direction. This is called _____ of light.
MEDIUM
With the help of a ray diagram show that a blue ink dot marked on a sheet of paper appears to be raised. Which phenomenon of light is responsible for this effect?
EASY
A point source S is placed in water. Name the type of beam of light it emits. This beam of light after coming out from water converges or diverges. Give reason for your answer.
MEDIUM

A concave lens made of a material of refractive index n1 is kept in medium of refractive index n2. A parallel beam light is incident on the lens. Complete the path of rays of light emerging from the concave lens if
  (i) n1>n2(ii) n1=n2(iii) n1<n2

MEDIUM

The path of a ray of light coming from air passing through a rectangular slab traced by four students are shown by figures P, Q, R and S. Which one of them is correct?
