A hemispherical glass body of radius 10 cm and refractive index 1.5 is silvered on its curved surface. A small air bubble is 6 cm below the flat surface inside it along the axis. The position of the image of the air bubble made by the mirror is seen :
An air bubble in a glass slab with refractive index 1.5 (near normal incidence) is 5 cm deep when viewed from one surface and 3 cm deep when viewed from the opposite face. The thickness (in cm) of the slab is
The mirror of length L moves horizontally as shown in the figure with a velocity v. The mirror is illuminated by a point source of light 'P' placed on the ground. The rate at which the length of the light spot on the ground increases is:

Refraction Through A Glass Slab
Consider an object O placed a distance d in front of a glass slab of thickness "t" and refractive index . The observer is on
the other side of the slab. A ray of light from the object first refracts at the surface (1) then refracts at the surface ( 2 ) before reaching the observer as shown in the above figure.
So for the refraction at the surface (1)
Similarly for the refraction at the surface (2)
As you observe, The refracting surfaces of a glass slab are parallel to each other. When a light ray passes through a glass slab it is refracted twice at the two parallel faces and finally emerges out parallel to its incident direction.
i.e. the ray undergoes no deviation ( ).
the object appears to be shifted towards the slab by the distance known as apparent shift or Normal shift.
And the apparent shift= OA-I2A
I.e
If the slab is placed in the medium of refractive index
then
Lateral Displacement Of Emergent Ray Through A Glass Slab
In the above figure Incident, ray AO is an incident on the EF surface of the slab at an angle of incident i, and PB is the emergent ray emerging out of the HG surface of the slab.
for the surface EF
Applying Snell's law at the surface EF and HG
i.e the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray.
If PQ is the perpendicular dropped from P on the incident ray produced.
Then PQ=d is known as lateral displacement which is given as
