Q."4 A light ray travels in a glass slab of refractive index mu=2 .Find the time taken by the light ray to travel in the glass slab for a distance of 20sqrt(3)d (Velocity of light =c )

In which medium sound travels faster: air or iron?

The refractive index of a transparent material is 1.84 and that of glass is 1.52. By how much amount the light travels faster in a window glass than in the material ?

When a ray of light enters a glass slab form air,

Statement-1 : A ray of light incident normally on a refracting surface does not suffer any refraction. Statement-2 : The critical angle for total internal refraction is smaller when a ray of light travels from glass to water than when it travels from glass to air.

In the diagram shown below, a beam of light is travelling from inside a glass slab to air. Which of the marked paths will the ray of light take as it emerges from the glass slab?
