CBSE Class 10 Science 2018 · Paper 31(B) · Question 26(a)
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.
(v) Fix the pins vertically, and look at the feet of the pins, not their heads, while lining them up.
(Other correct precautions, such as using a slab with clean, smooth and parallel faces, also earn credit.)
