Comprehension (Q.9. to Q.10) :
This question is about refractive index.
Light from a laser is directed at a semi-circular glass block. The light passes undeviated through the block
and on to a screen, forming a spot as shown.

When the spot reaches point B, it disappears.
9. The direction of rotation of the block is
(A) clock wise (B) anti clock wise
(C) depends on refractive index of the block (D) None of these
