REFRACTION OF LIGHT AT PLANE SURFACES


TEST PAPER 5
1. A boy uses blue colour of light to find the refractive index of glass. He then
repeats the experiment using red colour of light. Will the refractive index be the
same or different in the two cases? Give a reason to support your answer.
2. When an illuminated object is held in front of a thick plane glass mirror, several
images are seen.
a) Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of minimum of three images.
b) Out of these several images which image is the brightest? Why?
3. A ray of green light enters a liquid from air. Angle 1 is 45° and angle 2 is 30°.

a) Find the refractive index of the liquid.


b) Show in the diagram the path of the ray after it strikes the mirror and re-
enters in air. Mark in the diagram the angles wherever necessary.
c) Redraw the diagram if plane mirror becomes normal to the refracted ray
inside the liquid. State the principle used.
4. A ray of light of wavelength 3300 A° suffers refraction from air to glass. Taking
the refractive index of glass as 3/2, find the wavelength of light in glass.
5. State three factors on which the angle of deviation depends.
6. A light ray of yellow colour is incident on an equilateral glass prism at an angle of
incidence equal to 48° and suffers minimum deviation by an angle of 36°.
a) What will be the angle of emergence?
b) If the angle of incidence is changed to (i) 30°, (ii) 60°, state in each case if
the angle of deviation will be equal to, less than or more than 36°?
7. Draw a ray diagram to show the refraction of a monochromatic ray through a
prism when it suffers minimum deviation. How is the angle of emergence related
to the angle of incidence in this position.
8. A ray of light is normally incident on one face of an equilateral glass prism.
Answer the following:
a) What is the angle of incidence on the first face of the prism?
b) What is the angle of incidence on the first face of the prism?
c) What will be the angle of incidence at the second face of the prism?
d) Will the light ray suffer minimum deviation by the prism?
9. A glass slab is placed over a piece of paper on which VIBGYOR is printed with

1
each letter into its corresponding colour.
(a) When viewed from the top, will the image of all the letters be in the same
plane?
(b) The letter of which colour will appear to be raised (i) maximum (ii) minimum?
Explain your answer.
10. The apparent depth of a liquid in a vessel is 15 cm, when its real depth is 20 cm.
Calculate the refractive index of the liquid.
11. A fish is looking at 1.0 m high plant at the edge of a pond. Will the plant appear
to the fish shorter or taller than its actual height? Draw a ray diagram to support
your answer.
12. A coin kept inside water (µ = 4/3) when viewed from air in a vertical direction,
appears to be raised by 2.0 mm. Find the depth of the coin in water.
13. (a) The critical angle for diamond is 24°. Explain the statement. Also define
critical angle.
(b) State the two conditions for total internal reflection.
14. The following diagram shows a 60ₒ, 30ₒ, 90ₒglass prism of critical angle 42ₒ. Copy
the diagram and complete the path of the incident ray AB emerging out of the
prism, marking the angle of incidence on each surface.

15. A ray of light XY passes through a right-angled isosceles prism as shown below.

(a) What is the angle through which the incident ray deviates and emerges out of
the prism?
(b) Name the instrument where this action of prism is put into use.
(c) Which prism surface will behave as a mirror?
