REFRACTION OF LIGHT
Previous Exam Questions and Answers

1. Which phenomenon of light is utilised in optical fibre


technology? (Refraction, Total internal reflection, Dispersion,
Scattering)
Total internal reflection
2. The image formed by a convex lens is inverted and diminished.
Then the object must be placed (At 2F, Beyond 2F, Between F
and 2F, At F)
Beyond 2F
3. A ray of air light falling obliquely from air to a glass slab is
shown in the figure.

(a) Find out the angle of incidence.


(b) Why the angle of refraction is less than that of the angle of
incidence in this case?
(c) How can you calculate the refractive index of the material of
this slab? (Calculation not required)
(a) Angle of incidence = 60°
(b) Glass is optically denser than the air./ Glass has higher
refractive index than the air. Hence the refracted ray bends towards
the normal.

lens when the object placed at the same distance on the opposite
side.
