Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following are laws of refraction? (Select all correct answers)

Show answer

Incident ray, refracted ray and normal are in the same plane, sin i / sin r = constant for given pair of media

The two laws of refraction state that: 1) The incident ray, refracted ray and normal are coplanar, and 2) The ratio sin i/sin r is constant (Snell's law).

2multiple choice

When light goes from a rarer to a denser medium, it:

Show answer

Bends towards the normal

When light passes from a rarer medium (lower refractive index) to a denser medium (higher refractive index), it bends towards the normal.

3multiple choice

The separation of white light into seven colors is called:

Show answer

Dispersion

Dispersion is the process of separation of white light into its component colors when it passes through a medium like a prism.

4multiple choice

Which color bends the most during dispersion?

Show answer

Violet

Violet light has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, so it has the highest refractive index and bends the most during dispersion.
