TRUE or FALSE: When light travels obliquely from glass to air, it bends away from the normal.

Does the apparent depth of a tank of water change if viewed obliquely ? if so, does the apparent depth increase or decrease ?

The equation of refraction at a spherical surface is mu_2/v-mu_1/u=(mu_2-mu_1)/R Taking R=oo , show that this equation leads to the equation (Real depth)/(Apparent depth)=mu_2/mu_1 for fraction at a plane surface.

A small object is placed at the centre of the bottom of a cylindrical vessel of radius 3 cm and height 4 cm filled completely with water. Consider the ray leaving the vessel through a corner. Suppose this ray and the ray along the axis of the vessel are used to trace the image. Find the apparent depth of the image and the ratio of real depth to the apparent depth under the assumptions taken. Refractive index -of water = 1-33.

Assertion : Bending of light rays from its original path at the interface of the two media is called 'Refraction'. Reason : Whenever the light travels from denser medium to rarer medium, it bends away from the normal.

Asseration : Bending of the light rays from its original path at the interface of the two media is called 'Refraction. Reason : whenever the light travels from denser medium to rarer medium. It bends away from the normal .

An extended object is placed at a distance of 5.0 cm from a convex lens of focal length 8.0 cm. (a) Draw the ray diagram (to the scale) to locate the image and from this, measure the distance of the image from the lens, (b) Find the position of the image from the lens formula and see how close the drawing is to the correct result.
