1) A ray of light is incident on the interface of two media at
an angle of 450 and is refracted in to the other medium
at an angle of 300. If the speed of light in the first
medium is 3X108ms-1 ,what is the speed of light in the
second medium?
(1) 1.96X108ms-1
(2) 2.12X108ms-1

2)A ray of light is travelling from medium A to medium B. The angle of incidence is i
and that of refraction is r. Graph between sin(i) and sin(r) is as shown in Figure below.
We can conclude the following
(i) Speed of light in medium B is three-fourth of that in medium A.
(ii) Total internal reflection cannot take place.
(iii) Refractive index of medium B is greater than that of medium A.

8) A, B and C are three optical media of respective critical angles C1,
C2 and C3. Total internal reflection of light can occur from A to B
and also from B to C but not from C to A. Then the correct relation
between critical angles is
(1)C1>C2>C3
(2) C1= C2= C3
(3)C3> C1> C2
(4)C1<C2<C3
T I R can occur when light travels from medium A to medium B
 nA  nB
T I R can occur when light travels from medium B to medium C
 nB  nC
Therefore
nA  nB  nC
 C1  C2  C3

the first face is

13) A crown glass prism of 60 is cemented with a flint glass prism to
form a pair which produces dispersion without deviation. If the
refractive index of the crown glass prism is 1.52 and that of flint
glass 1.66, then the angle of flint glass pair should be

Conceptual questions
14) Light appears to travel in straight line because
(1)The frequency of light is very small
(2) Light consists of very small particles
(3) The wavelength of light is very small
(4) The velocity of light is different for different colours.
15) When light is refracted through a prism, maximum
deviation occurs when the following conditions are satisfied
(i) the ray is incident grazing the first face
(ii) the ray emerges out grazing its second face
Options
(1) Only in case (i)
(3) In both the cases
(2) Only in case (ii)
(4) Not under these cases
16) A man is swimming underwater with undisturbed
surface. Looking up at a bright sky through the water, he will
see
(1)a bright patch directly above whose angular size is
independent of the depth of the swimmer
(2)a shining surface of the water
(3) just darkness
(4) a bright patch directly above whose angular size depends
upon the depth of the swimmer
