A ray of light is incident as a normal ray on the surface of separation of two different medium. What is the value of the angle of incidence in this case? 

Solution

Angle of incidence = 0o , when a ray of light is incident as a normal ray on the surface of separation of two different medium.

i) Can the absolute refractive index of a medium be less than one?

ii) A coin is placed at the bottom of a beaker appears to be rasied by 4.0 cm. If the refractive index of water is 413, find the depth of water in the beaker?

Solution

i) No.

ii) Given,

Shift = 4 cm ;  mu equals 4 divided by 3 ; Real depth = ?

We know that,

Shift = Real depth left parenthesis space 1 minus space fraction numerator 3 over denominator straight mu presubscript straight a subscript straight m end fraction italic space italic right parenthesis
4 space equals space Real straight space d e p t h space left parenthesis thin space 1 space minus 3 over 4 right parenthesis

4 = Real depth  cross times space space 1 divided by 4 space
Real depth = fraction numerator 4 space cross times 4 over denominator 1 end fraction equals 16 space c m
