Physics - Class 10 - to study refraction of light in rectangular glass slab

In triangle GBC, r1+90 =-r2+90 ...as the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degree

r1=r2............................i

Now refractive index of glass=sin i/sin r1 =sin e/sin r2....................ii

as r1=r2 from (i)

so i=e .................iii

Now as the incident ray is extended till E, angle LDE should be equal to i.

For, CF and DE, and interceptor CD angle BCF(90+e)=angle CDE(90+i) and they are corresponding angle so CF parallel to DE.

1) A ray of light incident on one of the parallel faces of a rectangular glass slab, emerges out of the opposite parallel face

 a)      parallel to the incident ray but laterally displaced
b)      inclined to the incident ray
c)       along the same straight line as the incident ray
d)      gets absorbed into the body of the glass slab and does not emerge out of it

2) Four students reported the following observation tables for the experiment to trace the path of a ray of light passing through a glass slab for different angles of incidence. The observations, likely to be correct are those of student.
