IF CORRECT THEN PLS MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST ♥
The correct statements are (C) (i) and (iii)
In the given graph,
The Y-axis represents Sin r and the X-axis represents Sin i.
So, the slope or, the tangent of the curve will be, tan θ = Sin r/ Sin i
And the angle θ is greater than 45°
∵ θ > 45°
∴ tan θ > tan 45°
⇒ tan θ > 1
⇒ Sin r/ Sin i > 1
⇒ Sin r > Sin i
⇒ r > i
So, the angle of incidence in Medium II (r) is greater than the angle of incidence in Medium I (i).
Now, we know,
Angle of incidence of light in a medium ∝ 1/μ [μ = refractive index of that medium]
And, μ ∝ v [ v is the velocity of light in that medium]
So, v ∝ 1/ Angle of incidence of light in a medium
∴ (i) Speed of light in Medium I is greater than in Medium II is true.
As the angle of incident of light of Medium I is lesser, so the refractive index of the Medium I is greater than Medium II, and it is the denser medium.
Given, A ray of light travels from medium I to medium II.
So, (iii) Light travels from denser medium to rarer medium is true.
So, the correct statements are (C) (i) and (iii)
