    The document contains physics questions and diagrams related to reflection, refraction, and bending of light. For question 4(a)(i), students are asked to state the laws of reflection with a labeled diagram. For question 4(a)(ii), students are asked to show how the glare from oncoming vehicles results on a rainy night with a labeled diagram. Question 4(b) involves calculating the refractive index of water based on angle measurements in a diagram of a pencil in water, and calculating the bending angle of the pencil if placed in ethanol.

    (b) A pencil is placed in a glass of water and appears to be bent as shown in Figure 3 below.

    Figure 3

    DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA


    (i) Calculate the refractive index of the water which causes this apparent bending if
    angle a = 32° and angle b = 45°. (3 marks)

    (ii) If the pencil is now placed in ethanol with a refractive index of 1.36, calculate the
    new angle b given that angle a in the ethanol remains at 32°. (4 marks)

    (iii) Does the pencil bend more or less in ethanol than in water? Justify your answer.
