index is greater for
a. Can’t tell with the information provided.

5.
A student very cautiously traces the path of a ray through a glass slab for different
values of the angle of incidence (∠i). He then measures the corresponding values of the
angle of refraction (∠r) and the angle of emergence (∠e) for every value of the angle of
incidence. On analysing these measurements of angles, his conclusion would be
(A)

placed in water
Reasoning-The focal length of a convex mirror of radius R is equal to, f= R/2
