Glass slab: emergent ray is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Glass slab: emergent ray is:
A. Parallel to incident with lateral shift
B. Reversed
C. Perpendicular
D. Deviated
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Parallel-faced slab: refraction at entry and exit cancel angular deviation, but ray shifts laterally. No net direction change. Memory tip: 'Slab: parallel emergent ray; Prism: deviated emergent ray'. Ray optics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3 Report Error
Which measuring instrument is most suitable for measuring the internal diameter of a narrow tube with high precision?
A. Vernier caliper
B. Screw gauge
C. Meter scale
D. Measuring tape

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Vernier caliper is ideal for measuring internal diameters of narrow tubes due to its internal jaws designed for such measurements. Screw gauge measures external dimensions like wire diameter. Meter scale and measuring tape lack the precision (least count ~1 mm) needed for narrow tubes. Vernier calipers typically have least count 0.01 mm or 0.02 mm. Practical tip: Always use internal jaws for internal measurements, external jaws for outer dimensions. This application-based question tests knowledge of instrument selection in experimental physics, commonly featured in practical examination sections.
