Q30 of 38 Page 1

In the experiment on refraction of light through a rectangular glass slab done by four students A, B, C and D, the following observations were made:

(a) The emergent ray moves towards the normal after second refraction through glass slab with i = e


(b) The emergent ray moves away from the normal after second refraction through glass slab i < e


(c) For any angle of incidence, always I ˃ e, always.


(d) The emergent ray moves away from normal after second refraction through glass slab with i = e


The student who has made the correct observation is:

During refraction of light through a rectangular glass slab angle of incidence = angle of emergence. Since emergent ray moves from glass to air i.e. denser to rarer medium so it bends away from normal.
