Question

(a) What happens when a ray of light passes from:
(i) An optically rarer to an optically denser medium?
(ii) An optically denser to an optically rarer medium?
I have found the answer of (ii), please answer (i).​

Answer 1

Answer:

When light goes from an optically denser to an optically rarer medium, it always bend ---- the normal. As the light goes from an optically denser to an optically rarer medium, it bends away from the normal. Hence, the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence.
