ACTIVITY 5

2/9
Aim

To observe refraction and lateral deviation of a beam of


light incident obliquely on a glass slab.

3/9
APPARATUS AND MATERIAL
REQUIRED

Drawing board, rectangular glass slab, white


sheet of paper, adhesive tape (cello-tape),
drawing pins, a metre scale, alpins,
protractor, sharp pencil and eraser.

THEORY

When a ray of light is incident on a rectangular glass slab, it


isrefracted through it. It emerges out of the slab parallel to
the direction of the incident ray. The emergent ray suffers
only a lateral displacement. For a given angle of incidence
and a pair of media,the lateral deviation is proportional to
the thickness of the glass slab.

RESULT
1. The ray of light emerging from a glass
slab is parallel to the incident ray
direction, but is laterally deviated.

2.The lateral deviation of the emergent


ray with respect to theincident ray is
directly proportional to the thickness of
the glass slab.

PRECAUTIONS

●
While obtaining resistance of any
component, clean its leads properly.

8/9
SOURCES OF ERROR

●
When the metal ends of a multimeter leads
are touched, themultimeter should show zero
resistance. If it does not show it, bring the
pointer to zero using ‘Zero Adj knob’ on
themultimeter. If it is not done, the resistance
measurements are not reliable.
●
While checking resistance of a component,
avoid touching either of the metal ends of the
multimeter leads. Body resistance inparallel
with component resistance can affect the
resistance measurement.
