CLASS TEST -2

PHYSICS
CLASS: X REFRACTION & REFRACTIVE INDEX
1. With the help of the given ray diagram, calculate the refractive index of Medium 2 with
respect to Medium 1.

2. With the help of the given ray diagram, calculate the angle of refraction. Given that the
refractive index of Medium 2 with respect to Medium 1 is √3.

3. (a) Water has a refractive index of 1.33, and alcohol has a refractive index of
1.36. Which of the two media is optically denser? Give a reason for your
answer.
(b) Draw a ray diagram to show the path of a ray of light passing obliquely
from water to alcohol.
(c) State the relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of
refraction in the above case.
4. Explain the term absolute refractive index of a medium, and write an
expression to relate it to the speed of light in vacuum.
5. Draw a diagram to show the refraction of light through a glass slab and mark
the angle of refraction and the lateral shift suffered by a ray of light while
passing through the slab.
6. Study the figure in which the path of a ray of light going from Medium 1 to Medium 2 is
shown.

(a) Out of the two Media – Medium 1 and Medium 2, in which is the speed of light more?
(b) State the reason for the bending of the refracted ray away from the normal.
(c) Express the refractive index of Medium 2 with respect to Medium 1 in terms of the
speed of light in two media.
