Which of the following cannot be used to study refraction?
Light changes its direction when going from one transparent medium to another transparent medium. This is called ............ .
Substances in the order of optically denser to optically rarer medium are:
Dispersion of light and mirage are two examples of the phenomenon where ............ takes place.
The process of separation of light into its component colour while it is passing through a medium is called
Choose the correct statement regarding the incident ray, refracted ray and normal drawn at the point of incidence.
An illusion of the appearance of water on a hot road or in a desert is an example of
When a light ray makes an angle of 90° while entering a glass slab from air, it
When a ray of light enters a rarer medium from a denser medium, it gets partially reflected i.e. part of the light gets reflected and comes back into the denser medium obeying the laws of reflection. This is called .................. reflection.
The speed of light in air is

The actual position of star is slightly ........... than apparent position of star
A ray of light makes an angle of 50° with the surface S1 of the glass slab. Its angle of incidence will be............... .
For the refraction of light through a glass slab angle of incidence is .............. angle of emergence.
Refractive index depends on the
When a ray of light enters a rarer medium from a denser medium, for a particular value of i for which, the value of r becomes equal to 90°, is called the ..............angle.
............. is formed as the combined effect of the refraction, dispersion, and internal reflection
The refractive index of hot air is
Which of the following remains unchanged during refraction of light?
The unit of refractive index is

A laser beam enters from air to soap solutions in water then ................ .
If the first medium is vacuum then the refractive index of medium 2 is called .............. .
Mirage is the effect of atmospheric .......... on a small scale.
The velocity of light is ............. in different media.
During formation of mirage, the density of air
For a given pair of media, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is.............. .
............. coloured ray deviates the least during the dispersion of light through a prism.
During refraction of light through the glass slab refraction of light takes place ........... in a glass slab.
............. coloured ray deviates the most during the dispersion of light through a prism.
What is the reason for the twinkling of stars?
Coin placed at the bottom of vessel when viewed from sides becomes visible only after filling water upto certain height. This is due to phenomenon of ........ .
We can see the sun even when it is little below the horizon because of ............ .
