Question 1:

Correct answer: C

Why C is correct:

To determine the correct path, apply the laws of refraction (Snell's Law):

• Entering the glass (air to glass): Light travels from a less dense medium (air) to a more dense medium (glass). This causes the light ray to slow down and bend toward the normal (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface).

• Exiting the glass (glass to air): Light travels from a more dense medium back into a less dense medium. The ray speeds up and bends away from the normal.

• Parallel shift: For a rectangular block with parallel sides, the ray emerging from the block should be parallel to the original incident ray.

Evaluating the options:

• A: Shows the light bending away from the normal upon entering – incorrect.

• B: Shows the light traveling in a straight line through the first boundary – no refraction occurred.

• D: Shows the light bending too much (straight across), and the exiting ray is not parallel to the original ray.

• C: Correctly shows the ray bending toward the normal inside the glass, then bending away from the normal when exiting, with the emerging ray parallel to the incident ray.

Question 3:

Statements:

• I. If i=0∘, then r=0∘ – true (no bending at normal incidence).

• II. If i>0∘, then r is always less than i – true (plastic is denser than air, so light bends towards the normal).

• III. As i increases, r decreases – false (both increase; Snell’s law gives sin⁡r=sin⁡i/n, so r increases with i).

Thus only I and II are true.
Correct answer: A

Question 4:

Diagram A is the correct representation.

Here is why:

• Refraction: When light moves from a less dense medium (air) to a more dense medium (plastic), it bends towards the normal (the dashed line). Diagram A shows this correctly at the flat surface.

• The Curved Surface: In all four diagrams, the ray exits through the curved boundary along a radius. Since the ray is perpendicular to the boundary at that point, it does not bend and continues in a straight line.

Eliminating Others:

• B shows the light bending away from the normal when entering the plastic.

• C shows light traveling along the normal but then bending, which violates Snell's Law.

• D shows light reflecting, not refracting, as if the surface were a mirror.

Question 5:

The correct answer is D.
When light enters a denser medium (plastic) from a less dense medium (air), it slows down and bends towards the normal line.

Question 6:

The correct answer is a) n=sin⁡i/sin⁡r.

Snell’s Law relates the angle of incidence i and angle of refraction r when light passes from one medium to another. For light entering a medium from air (or vacuum), the refractive index n of the medium is defined as the ratio of sin⁡i to sin⁡r.

Question 7:

The correct answer is C. The refractive index of the substance.

In Snell’s Law (n=sin⁡ i/sin⁡ r), n represents the refractive index, which measures how much light slows down and bends when entering a material.
