Choose the correct statement regarding the incident ray, refracted ray and normal drawn at the point of incidence.
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.
............. coloured ray deviates the most during the dispersion of light through a prism.
A ray of light makes an angle of 50° with the surface S1 of the glass slab. Its angle of incidence will be............... .
When a light ray makes an angle of 90° while entering a glass slab from air, it
Refractive index depends on the

Which of the following remains unchanged during refraction of light?
Light changes its direction when going from one transparent medium to another transparent medium. This is called ............ .

A laser beam enters from air to soap solutions in water then ................ .
Which of the following light source cannot produce dispersion?
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.
The speed of light in air is
The process of separation of light into its component colour while it is passing through a medium is called
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.............. .
The velocity of light is ............. in different media.
For the refraction of light through a glass slab angle of incidence is .............. angle of emergence.
