    10th CBSE LAB PHYSICS EXPERIMENT

    Tracing Path of a Ray of Light Passing Through a


    Glass Slab
    Aim
    To trace the path of a ray of light passing through a rectangular glass slab for
    different angles of incidence. Measure the angle of incidence, angle of refraction,
    and angle of emergence, and interpret the result.

    Materials Required

    1. A drawing board
    2. 4-6 all pins
    3. White sheet of paper
    4. Rectangular glass slab
    5. A protractor
    6. A scale
    7. A pencil
    8. Thumb pins

    Procedure

    1. Fix a white sheet on the soft drawing board using thumb pins.
    2. Place the glass slab at the centre of the white paper and draw its outline
    boundary using a sharp pencil.
    3. Let ABCD be the rectangular figure obtained by drawing.
    4. Mark a point E on AB and draw a perpendicular EN and label it as a normal
    ray.
    5. Draw one angle of 30° with the help of protractor with EN. Fix pins at P and Q
    at 4-5 cm on the ray that is obtained by the angle.
    6. Place the glass slab on the rectangular figure ABCD.
    7. To fix R and S, see through the glass slab from side CD, such that when seen
    through the glass slab, all the pins P, Q, R, and S should lie in a straight line.
    8. Draw small circles around the pins P, Q, R and S and remove the pins.
    9. Remove the glass slab.
    10. Join points R and S such that it meets CD at point F. Draw a perpendicular
    N’M’ to CD at point F.
    11. Using a pencil, join the points E and F.
    12. Measure the angles formed at AB and CD, i.e, the incident angle, refracted
    angle, and emergent angle.
    13. The lateral displacement is obtained by extending the ray PQ in a dotted line
    which is parallel to ray FRS.
    14. Measure the lateral displacement.
    15. Repeat the same procedure for angles 45° and 60°.

    Observation Table

    Sl.no Angle of incidence Angle of refraction Angle of emergence ∠i – ∠e


    ∠i = ∠PEN ∠r = ∠MEF ∠e = ∠SFM’ ∠PEN – ∠SFM’

    1 30° 28° 30° 0°

    2 45° 43° 44.8° 0.2°

    3 60° 56° 59.8° 0.2°

    Due to human error the value of ∠i – ∠e may not be equal to zero.

    Conclusion

    1. The angle of incidence and the angle of emergence are almost equal.
    2. As the light is traveling from rarer to denser optical medium, the angle of
    refraction will be lesser than the angle of incidence.
    3. For different angles of incidence, the lateral displacement will remain the
    same.
    4. The light will bend towards the normal when it travels from an optically rarer
    medium to an optically denser medium.
