To draw:
Ray diagram for a light ray entering denser medium from rarer medium .
Detailed Discussion:
Before drawing the diagram, we need to know the following concepts :
- First of all , optically denser medium has higher refractive index and a optically rarer medium has lower refractive index.
- Now, in a denser medium, the velocity of light is lesser as compared to the velocity in a rarer medium.
- So, when a light ray is entering from a rarer medium to the denser medium, the velocity of light ray decreases at the medium interface.
- Whenever the light velocity decreases, it deviates towards the normal.
Since we now know enough concepts in this part, we can now draw the diagram as attached in the diagram.
Hope It Helps.
