Questions
The optical density of turpentine is higher than that of water while its mass density is lower. Figure shows a layer of turpentine floating over water in a container. For which one of the four rays incident on turpentine in figure, the path shown is correct?
detailed solution
Correct option is B
As turpentine oil is optically denser than air the light on entering turpentine oil bends towards the normal. And as light goes from turpentine oil into water it bends away from normal as water is optically rarer, hence, ray 2 shows the correct path.Talk to our academic expert!
