State the laws of refraction of light. Explain the term absolute refractive index of a meidum and write an expression to relate it with the speed of light in vaccum.

Answer»

Solution :Two basic laws of refraction of light are :
(i) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal to the separating surface at the point of incidence, all lie in the same plane.
(ii) The ratio of sine of the angle of incidence (i) to the sine of angle of refraction (r) is a constant. It is known as Snell.s law. THUS, according to Snell.s law
`(sin i)/(sin r) = a` constant = n
Generally, the constant n is known as the absolute refractive index of given MEDIUM. Thus, absolute refractive index of a medium is defined as the ratio of sine of angle of incidence of a light ray in AIR (or vaccum) to the sine of angle of refraction of the ray in given medium.
Absolute refractive index of a medium is a unitless quantity and its value is one or greater than one.
In terms of SPEED of light, the absolute refractive index of a medium is defined as :
Absolute refractive index of a medium (n) `= ("Speed of light in vacuum (or air) .c.")/("Speed of light in given medium .V.")`

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions. If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy. The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses heat energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistant box (meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two objects only), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. Which property of the substance is measured using this principle?

Answer»

SOLUTION : Specific HEAT CAPACITY of object is measured USING this principle.
