False. The greater is the value of refractive index, the greater is the bending
of refracted ray towards the normal.

False. Blue and violet colour are scattered in a greater amount than red
colour.

True.
(D) Find the odd man out :
Reflection, Dispersion, Refractive index, Refraction.
Refractive index. Refractive index is a value while the rest are natural
phenomenon of light.
Brown, Blue, Green, Red.
Brown. It is not the component of while light. Blue, red and green are
components of white light.
Twinkling of stars, Advanced sunrise, Delayed sunset, Blue sky.
Blue sky. This is because of scattering of light, while the others are due to
atmospheric refraction.
Dispersion, Mirage, Refraction, Induction.
Induction. It is related to electric current, while others are phenomena of
light.
Define the following :
Refraction.
The phenomenon of change in the direction of light when it passes from
one transparent medium to another is called refraction.
Refractive index.
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 constant. This constant is called as
refractive index.
If i is the angle of incidence and r is the angle of refraction then,
sin i
sin r = Constant.

Scattering of light.
When a ray of light is incident on extremely small particles, the particles
deflect the light in different directions. This phenomenon is scattering of
light.
Absolute refractive index.
If medium first is vacuum then refractive index of medium second is called
as absolute refractive index.

3. The greater the value of refractive index, the more is the bending of
refracted ray towards normal. The angle of incidence is greater than
the angle of refraction.
Explain the propagation of a ray of light, when it travels from denser to
rarer medium.
1. When a ray of light travels from an optically
Denser
denser medium to an optically rarer medium,
medium
the ray bends away from the normal.
(glass)
2. Here the refractive index of the first medium
is greater than refractive index of the second
medium.
Rarer medium
(air)
3. The greater the value of refractive index, the
lesser is the bending of ray away from the
normal.
4. The angle of refraction is greater than the angle of the incidence.
Explain the propagation of a ray of light, when a ray is incident normal
to the interface between any two media.
Medium 1 (air)
1. A special effect is observed when the ray is
incident normal to the interface between
Medium 2 (glass)
any two media in any way i.e. either from
rarer to denser or denser to rarer medium.
2. Here the angle of incidence is zero, hence
ray of light propagates undeviated from one
medium to another.
Answer the following questions in one sentence each :
What do you mean by optically denser or optically rarer medium ?
In refraction of light, the medium of higher refractive index is called optically
denser medium, while the optically rarer medium has comparatively lower
refractive index.
What does the refractive index depend upon ?
The refractive index depends upon the relative speed of propagation of
light in different media.
Name the natural phenomena seen because of atmospheric refraction.
Some of the natural phenomena seen due to atmospheric refraction are :
Twinkling of stars, advanced sunrise and sunset.
What is dispersion of light ?
The phenomenon of spliting of light into its component colours is dispersion.
What is spectrum ?
The band of coloured components of a light beam is called its spectrum.
Why do we see a rainbow in the sky ?
The beautiful phenomenon of the rainbow in the sky is because of the
combination of different phenomena like dispersion, refraction and reflection
of light.
A ray of light is refracted from denser medium to a rarer medium. In
which direction will the ray bend ?
When a ray of light is refracted from denser medium to a rarer medium, it
will bend away from the normal.
How will the sky appear to an astronaut in the space ?
For the astronaut the sky will look black or dark.
Name the acronym which helps in remembering the sequence of colour
formed due to dispersion of white light.
The acronym which helps us to remember the colours obtained after splitting
of light is VIBGYOR.
