Complete the following by choosing the correct answers from the bracket:
Refractive index of a medium is independent of ............... [temperature/angle of incidence/wavelength of light].
Topic: Factors affecting refractive index
Question wording verified against source paper
Answer
Exam answer
Angle of incidence.
Explanation
For a given medium and wavelength at a fixed temperature, refractive index does not depend on angle of incidence.

From the figure given below, the refractive index of medium B with respect to medium A (ₐμᵦ) is:
(a) sin 45° / sin 30°
(b) sin 30° / sin 45°
(c) sin 45° / sin 60°
(d) sin 60° / sin 45°2026When a ray of light passes from a denser to a rarer medium, its wavelength ...............
