Worked practice questions

When light passes from a rarer medium to a denser medium, it bends:

  1. Away from the normal
  2. Towards the normal
  3. Parallel to the normal
  4. Along the surface
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Towards the normal

1. Light slows down in the denser medium. 2. By Snell's law, this means the refracted ray bends towards the normal. 3. Reverse direction (denser to rarer) would bend the ray away from the normal. _Source: syllabus Science, Ch 9 "Light Reflection and Refraction", §9.3_

The absolute refractive index of a medium is the ratio of:

  1. Angle of incidence to angle of refraction
  2. Speed in the medium to speed in vacuum
  3. Speed of light in vacuum to speed in the medium
  4. Frequency of light to wavelength
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Speed of light in vacuum to speed in the medium

1. Absolute refractive index n = c / v. 2. c is the speed of light in vacuum. 3. v is the speed of light in the medium. _Source: syllabus Science, Ch 9 "Light Reflection and Refraction", §9.3.1_

The refractive index of water is 1.33. The speed of light in water (in m/s) is approximately:

  1. 1.33 × 10⁸
  2. 3.0 × 10⁸
  3. 4.5 × 10⁸
  4. 2.26 × 10⁸
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. 2.26 × 10⁸

1. v = c/n = (3 × 10⁸)/1.33. 2. Calculation: 3 × 10⁸ ÷ 1.33 ≈ 2.26 × 10⁸ m/s. 3. Hence light slows to ~226,000 km/s in water. _Source: syllabus Science, Ch 9 "Light Reflection and Refraction", §9.3.1_
