Light is incident at an angle i on a glass slab. The reflected ray is completely polarised. The angle of refraction is

EASY
IMPORTANT

One side of a glass slab is silvered as shown. A ray of light is incident on the other side at angle of incidence i=45o . Refractive index of glass is given as 1.5. The deviation of the ray of light from its initial path when it comes out of the slab is:

Question Image

EASY
IMPORTANT

Assertion: A parallel beam of light travelling in the air can be displaced laterally by a parallel transparent slab by a distance more than the thickness of the plate.

Reason: The lateral displacement of light travelling in the air increases with rise in the value of refractive index of the slab.

EASY
IMPORTANT

Assertion: If a plane glass slab is placed on the letters of different colours all the letters appear to be raised up to the same height.

Reason: Different colours have different wavelengths.
