List of top Physics Questions on Refraction of Light asked in ICSE Class X board

A monochromatic ray strikes the surface of identical prisms (A, B and C) at different angles of incidence. The diagram below shows their refracted rays. Study the path of these refracted rays and identify in which of the diagrams
(a) the angle of incidence is maximum.
(b) the angle of incidence is minimum.
(c) the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence.
From the figure given below, the refractive index of medium B with respect to medium A (\(_{A}\mu_{B}\)) is:
(a) Name the electromagnetic radiation used to detect fake currency.
(b) Redraw the diagram given below and complete the path of the light ray AB through the glass prism till it emerges out of the prism. Critical angle of the glass is 42\(^\circ\).
A type of glass block has a refractive index of 1.8.
(a) Calculate the speed of light in this glass. (Given speed of light in air \(c = 3 \times 10^8\) ms\(^{-1}\))
(b) If the width of this block is doubled, then what will be the speed of light in the block?
A ray of light enters a glass block from air and comes out from the opposite surface. If the angle of refraction at the first surface is not the same as the angle of incidence at the second surface, then:
(a) What is the product of the ratio \(\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}\) at the first surface and at the second surface?
(b) State whether the opposite surfaces are parallel or not parallel.
(c) How did you reach the conclusion in (b) above?
