left to right within a period?
2. The observation made by Swarali while doing the experiment are given below. Based on these
write answers to the questions:
Swarali found that the light ray travelling from the denser medium to rarer medium goes away

went on increasing. However after certain value of the angle of incidence the light ray is seen
to return back into the denser medium.
Questions:
i. What is the specific value of Li called?
ii. What is the process of reflection of incident ray into denser medium called?
iii. Draw the diagrams of three observations made by Swarali.
