Physics
A ray of light passes obliquely from an optical medium of refractive index 1.33 to another medium of refractive index 1.5. While passing from the first medium to the second, the light ray will:
- bend towards the normal.
- bend away from the normal.
- move along the normal.
- suffer total internal reflection.

Answer
Bend towards the normal.
Reasonā Given:
- First medium: Refractive index n1 = 1.33
- Second medium: Refractive index n2 = 1.5
Since n2 > n1 the second medium is optically denser.
When light travels obliquely from a rarer medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal.

You want to register your name for an examination. For registration purposes, you need a passport-size photograph of yourself. When you went to a studio, the photographer told you to sit on a chair in front of a white screen in the room.
Assertion (A) : This is purposefully done so that you as an object should stand beyond the centre of curvature of the camera lens, but surely not at an infinite distance.
Reason(R) : The characteristics of the image formed are that it can be taken on a screen and is also diminished in size.

Rivers which originate from the glaciers at high altitudes have a supply of water throughout the year. This is because ice in high mountains does not melt all at once. This is due to:
- high specific heat of ice.
- low specific heat of ice.
- low specific latent heat of fusion of ice.
- high specific latent heat of fusion of ice.
