deviation position with an angle of incidence 45 as shown in the diagram. (4)
(a) Copy the diagram and complete the path of the ray PQ.
(b) State two factors on which the angle of deviation depends.

from the prism.
b) What is the angle of deviation of the ray?
c) Name an instrument where this action of the prism is used. (4)
iii) Why upper surface of water contained in a beaker and above eye level appears silvery? (2)

Question 7
(i) Why do we say that the ‘2F’ and ‘F’ points of a convex lens can be regarded as a sort of ‘turning
points’ as far as the nature of the image formed by it is concerned? (3)

their combined power and combined focal length. (4)

liquid of uniform density. (4)
a. Does the light speed up or slow down in glass? Give reasons for your answer .

block with respect to the incident ray?

liquid to glass passes straight without bending.
d. Will the glass be visible when the ray passes undeviated?
(ii) How does angle of deviation formed by a prism change with the
increase in the angle of incidence? Draw a graph showing the
variation in the angle of deviation with the angle of incidence at a prism surface. (3)
