Go through the book and notes thoroughly and try to learn definitions and practice pastpapers.

SAME here,
The only phrase that the examiner report has from past few years is to read the question carefully!
I'm sure if you do it, the margin would decrease to 3-4 marks only

This is the diagram to SHOW the critical angle! Not on how to measure it!
then u wan draw a block then draw out the incident and refracted ray? then use sin i/sin r to find refractive index... then only use sin critical angle =1/refractive index? i think like that too long...
and that is describe an experiment? describe a student use a semi-circle glass block... move the ray until the refracted ray is 90 degree... cannot?:(

place semi circular glass/ perspex block, then draw around it with pencil( so that it can be restored if moved)
then place two pins P1, P2 in straight line with the flat part of the semicircular glass block.
view from different angles until the two pins appear as one, then place another pin P3 from behind the circular part of the block so that the three pins appear as one. place another pin P4 behind it for accuracy.
draw line from P3 and P4 to flat part of block. draw normal at point where it touches block. measure angle from normal of line P3,P4 to get critical angle!bunsen.JPG
