A ray of light from water to air. How does the speed of light change? 

Solution

Speed of light increases as the ray of light travels from denser to rarer medium.

Light passes through a rectangular glass slab and through a triangular glass prism. In what way does the direction of the two emergent beams differ and why? 

Solution

In a rectangular glass slab, the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray but they are not along the same line whereas in a prism the emergent ray is not parallel to the incident ray. This is because, in a glass block the two surfaces at which refraction occurs and is parallel to each other.

Ranbir claims to have obtained an image twice the size of the object with a concave lens. Is he correct? Give a reason for your answer. 

Solution

No, Ranbir is not correct.
Using, concave lens only small size upright images are obtained. 
An image twice the size of the object with a concave lens cannot be obtained.
