AMERICAN ACADEMY LARNACA VI PHYSICS: SEMESTER 2: TEST 1 [Date: NAME] GRADE BLANK PAGE TURN OVER FOR QUESTION 1 2 A student carries out an experiment to investigate the refraction of light as it passes from glass into air. He shines a ray of light through a glass block and into the air as shown. Glass (a) (i) Add to the diagram to show i the angle of incidence and r the angle of refraction. Measure these two angles. 8) (ii) Hence, calculate the refractive index from air to glass «14s. alg Q) (b) AtX, some of the light takes a path different from that shown on the diagram. Add another ray to the diagram showing the path of this light. a Leave blank -3- (©) The student increases the angle of incidence and notices that, above a certain angle, the light no longer passes into the air. Explain this observation. @) (@ Determine the largest angle of incidence which allows the light to pass into the air from this block. @ (Total 10 marks) Leave blank 7
