When a ray of light travels obliquely from a rarer medium to a denser medium, it bends away from the normal.

(a) State Snell's law of refraction of light. (b) A transparent medium A floats on another transparent medium B. When a ray of light travels obliquely from A into B, the refracted ray bends away from from the normal. Which of these two media A or B are optically denser and why ?

A transparent thin film of uniform thickness and refractive index n_(1) =1.4 is coated on the convex spherical surface of radius R at one end of a long solid glass cylinder of refractive index n_(2) =1.5 , as shown in the figure. Rays of light parallel to the axis of the cylinder traversing through the film from air to glass get focused at distance f_(1) from the film, while rays of light traversing from glass to air get focused at distance f_(2) from the film, Then

A ray of light travelling in air enters obliquely into water. Does the light ray bend towards the normal or away from the normal ? Why ?

A ray of light travelling in glass having refractive index _(a)mu_(g)=3//2 is incident at a critical angle C on the glass air interface. If a thin layer of water is poured on glass air interface, then what will be the angle of emergence of this ray in air when it emerges from water air inteface?
