    The document describes an experiment to observe refraction and lateral deviation of light passing through a glass slab. A beam of light enters and exits the slab at oblique angles, bending as it passes from air to glass and glass to air. The lateral deviation of the emergent beam increases with the angle of incidence. Diagrams are drawn showing refraction at 30 and 45 degree angles of incidence.

    Activity No. 5
    Aim
    To observe refraction and lateral deviation of a beam of light incident obliquely on
    a glass slab.

    Apparatus/Materials Required
    Glass slab, drawing board, white paper sheet, drawing pins, office pins,
    protractor.

    Theory
    When a ray of light (PQ) incident on the face AB of glass slab, then it bends
    towards the normal since refraction takes place from rarer to denser medium. The
    refracted ray (QR) travel along straight line and incident on face DC of slab and
    bends away from the normal since refraction takes place from denser to rarer
    medium. The ray (RS) out through face DC is called emergent ray.
    From the diagram we can conclude that
    I. The incident ray is parallel to the emergent ray i.e. i = e.
    II. The emergent ray is laterally deviated from its original path (incident ray) by a
    distance d
    The lateral deviation depends on the following factors
    a) The angle of incidence
    b) The thickness of the glass slab
    c) The material of the glass slab.

    Conclusion
    Angle of incidence (i) = Angle of emergence (e).
    The lateral displacement increases with the angle of incidence (i).

    Precautions
    1. Use a sharp pencil to draw the diagrams.
    2. Take care to measure the angles accurately with the help of a protractor.

    Draw two diagrams showing refraction through a glass slab-


    (i) Take
    i = 30°.
    Then e will be 30°
    Measure d

    (ii)Take i = 45°.
    Then e will be 45°
    Measure d

    We will see that as angle of incidence i increases, lateral deviation d increases.


    5. To observe refraction and lateral deviation of a beam of light incident obliquely
    on a glass slab.
    6. To study the nature and size of the image formed by a convex lens on a screen
    by using a candle and a screen (for different distances of the candle from the lens).
