Case Study Based Questions

Questions number 29 and 30 are case study based questions. Read the following
paragraphs and answer the questions that follow.

29. When a ray of light propagates from a denser medium to a rarer medium,
it bends away from the normal. When the incident angle is increased, the
refracted ray deviates more from the normal. For a particular angle of
incidence in the denser medium, the refracted ray just grazes the
critical
interface of the twosurfaces. This angle of incidence is called the
angle for the pair of media involved.

This resistance offered by the electrolvte is caled internal resistance o
the cell(r). It depends upon the nature of the electrolyte, the area of the
electrodes immersed in the electrolvte and the temperature. Due to
internal resistance, a part of the energy supplied by the cell is wasted
