i) A glass slab is placed over a page on which the word VIBGYOR is printed with each letter in its corresponding color.

1. Will the image of all the letters be in the same plane?

2. If not, state which letter will be raised to its maximum. Give a reason for your answer.

ii) What will be the color of an object, which appears green in white light and black in red light?


i)
1. No, the image of all letters will not be at the same place.

2. Letter V will be raised maximum. This is because the refractive index of a material depends inversely upon the wavelength of light. On the other hand the shift in the image depends directly on the refractive index. Since, the refractive index of a material is maximum fr violet light, therefore letter V which is written with violet colour is raised the maximum.

ii) Green will be the actual color of an object.
