A student has to trace the path of a ray of light through a glass slab. List four precautions he should observe for better results.

Answer

Keep the slab fixed, the angle of incidence between and , and the pins vertical and at least 5 cm apart.

Any four of the following: (i) Mark the boundary (outline) of the glass slab with a sharp pencil, and do not move the slab until all the pins are fixed. (ii) Keep the angle of incidence between and . (iii) Fix the two pins on each side at least cm apart. (iv) Draw the rays and lines with a sharp pencil.

(Other correct precautions, such as using a slab with clean, smooth and parallel faces, also earn credit.)
