Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following factors affect the refractive index of a medium?

Show answer

Density of the medium, Temperature of the medium, Wavelength of light

Refractive index depends on density, temperature, and wavelength. It does not depend on intensity of light.

2multiple correct

Which conditions are necessary for total internal reflection?

Show answer

Light travels from denser to rarer medium, Angle of incidence > critical angle

For TIR, light must travel from denser to rarer medium and angle of incidence must be greater than critical angle.

3multiple choice

The first law of refraction states that:

Show answer

Incident ray, refracted ray and normal lie in same plane

The first law states that incident ray, refracted ray and normal at point of incidence lie in the same plane.

4multiple choice

When light passes through a glass prism, the emergent ray:

Show answer

Deviates towards the base

When light passes through a prism, it deviates towards the base due to refraction at both surfaces.
