Important Questions on Light and Optical Instrument
Light enters from air to kerosene having refractive index of . What is the speed of light in kerosene, if the speed of light in air is ?



In the given figure, AB is the incident ray, BC is the refracted ray and MN is the normal at the point of incidence. Which medium is more
denser? Why?


"Ray of light travels from optically rarer medium to optically denser medium, it moves towards normal and when it travels from optically denser to optically rarer medium it moves away from the normal is known as refraction of light". Which of the following pentagon figures shows the correct refraction of light.

Light enters from air to glass plate having refractive index. What is the speed of light in glass? (Given-speed of light in vacuum )

When a ray of light is incident perpendicularly on a transparent glass slab, what will be its angle of deviation?




What is the relation between the refractive index of water with respect to air , and the refractive index of air with respect to water .




Between the angle of incidence and angle of refraction, which one is greater when light travels from a rarer to a denser medium?




If the refractive index of water with respect to air () is . Calculate the refractive index of air with respect to water ().
