A student suggested the following guidelines to his friend for doing the experiment on tracing the path of a ray of light passing through a rectangular glass slab for three different angles of incidence : (A) Draw the outline of the glass slab at three positions on the drawing sheet. (B) Draw normals on the top side of these outlines near their left end. (C) Draw the incident rays on the three outlines in directions making angles of 30, 45, 60 with the normals drawn. (D) Fix two pins vertically on each of these incident rays at two points nearly 1 cm apart.
