Solutions to CBSE Sample Paper - Science Class 10

If the object inside the box was made of a material with a refractive index less than 1.5 then the 

(A) lateral shift of the rays would have been less. 

(B) lateral shift of the rays would have been more. 

(C) lateral shift of the rays would remain the same as before. 

(D) there is not enough information to comment on any of the above statements

 

Answer - 

Now,

  • Greater the refractive index , smaller the angle of refraction
    Question 60 Image-01.jpg

  • If we decrease the refractive index, the angle of refraction increases
  • This lateral shift of rays will be less, shift will be less because of angle of refraction is becoming equal to angle of incidence
