Question 5. A ray of light is travelling from a rarer medium to a denser medium. While entering the denser medium at the point of incidence, it
Answer: B) bends towards the normal.
Explanation:-
Refraction is the bending of light rays after entering a medium where its speed is different. Due to refraction of light, when a ray of light passes from a rarer medium to a denser medium, bends towards the normal to the boundary between the two media.

Question 11. When temperature of the material medium increses through which light ray travels, refractive index of the medium will
Answer: C) Decreses
Explanation:-
When the temperature of the material medium increses, the density of the material will also decreses and the velocity of the light will increse. Which will lead to decrese in refractive index of the material medium.
Explanation:-
When the temperature of the material medium increses, the density of the material will also decreses and the velocity of the light will increse. Which will lead to decrese in refractive index of the material medium.
Question 12. Refractive index of all the different layers of atmosphere is different due to change in ........
Answer: D) all of these
Explanation:-
The atmosphere around earth has layers of air which do not have same temperature. The hotter air is lighter and hence less denser than the cooler air. Due to the difference in the densities the air layers have different refractive index.

Question 13. Stars appear to be twinkle at night is because of ...........
Answer: B) Atmospheric refraction
Explanation:-
The twinkling of a star is due to atmospheric refraction of starlight. The starlight on entering the earth's atmosphere undergoes refraction continuously before it reaches the earth. The atmospheric refraction occurs in a medium of gradually changing refractive index.
