TOPIC: LIGHT REFLECTION AND REFRACTION
1. A ray of light travels from a medium of refractive index n1 to a medium of refractive index n2. If angle of
𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝑖
incidence is i and the angle of refraction is r, then 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝑟 is equal to
a) n1 b) n2 c) n21 d) n12
2. Reflective index of glass w.r.t air is 3/2. What is the refractive index of air w.r.t glass?
a) 2/3 b) 1 c) Zero d) (3/2)2
3. If correct value of refractive index of a medium(μ) in terms of velocity of light in vacuum (C) and velocity
of light in medium (v) is
a) n = vC b)n = 1 / ve c)n= C / v d) n = v / C.
4. For no bending of a ray of light through a glass slab, angle of incidence must be
a) 00 b) 300 c) 600 d) 900
5. The below Figure shows a ray of light as it travels from medium A to medium B. Refractive index of the
medium B relative to medium A is
6. The path of a ray of light coming from air passing through a rectangular glass slab traced by four
students are shown as A, B, C and D in Figure. Which one of them is correct?
(a) A (b) B (c) C (d) D
Questions consist of two statements - Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Answer these
questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
a. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion(A).
b. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (𝑅) is not the correct explanation of Assertion(A).
c. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
d. Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
7. Assertion (A) A ray of light travelling from a rarer medium to a denser medium slows down and bends
away from the normal. When it travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium, it speeds up and bends
towards the normal.
Reason (R) : The speed of light is higher in a rarer medium than a denser medium.
8. Assertion (A) : A ray passing through the centre of curvature of a concave mirror after reflection, is
reflected back along the same path.
Reason (R) : The incident rays fall on the mirror along the normal to the reflecting surface.
9. Assertion (A). 1.33 is the absolute refractive index of water.

Reason (R). Air is optically denser than water.
10. Assertion (A) : Light does not travel in the same direction in all the media.
Reason (R) : The speed of light does not change as it enters from one transparent medium to another.
11. Three mirrors, one plane, one concave and one convex are lying on the table. Identify them without
touching them or using any other apparatus or device?
12. A concave mirror produces three times magnified real image of an object placed at 10 cm in front of it.
Where is the image located?
13. The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is +3. Analyze this value and state the (i) type of
mirror and (ii) position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror. Draw a ray diagram to show the
formation of image in this case.
14. A concave mirror is used for image formation for different positions of an object. What inferences can be
drawn about the following when an object is placed at a distance of 10 cm from the pole of a concave mirror
of focal length 15 cm?
(a) Position of the image (b) Size of the image (c) Nature of the image
Draw a labelled ray diagram to justify your inferences.
CASE STUDY :
15. A ray of light that travels obliquely from one transparent medium into another will change its direction in
the second medium. The extent of the change in /direction that takes place in a given pair of media may be
expressed in terms of the refractive index, In optics, the refractive index (also known as refraction index or
index of refraction) of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how fast light travels through the
material .
(i). Out of water, glass and diamond, Which material is having the highest refractive index?
(ii). What happens to the speed of light as the refractive index of the medium increases?
(iii) Write down the law says the relation between angle of incidence and angle of refraction.
