Refraction, Glass Slab & Apparent Depth

A ray of light travelling through a rarer medium is incident at very small angle ' ii ' on a glass slab and after refraction its velocity is reduced by 25%25\%. The angle of deviation is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Speed drops by 25%25\%: v=0.75c⇒μ=43v = 0.75c \Rightarrow \mu = \dfrac{4}{3}.
  2. For small angles r=iμ=3i4r = \dfrac{i}{\mu} = \dfrac{3i}{4}.
  3. Deviation δ=i−r=i4\delta = i - r = \dfrac{i}{4}.
  4. So the answer is (b).
