Question

For the same angle of incidence of 45°, the refraction angle in two transparent media P and Q is 20°
and 30°, respectively. Which medium is optically denser out of P and Q and why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of incidence =I = 45 degrees

Medium 1 angle of refraction= 20 degrees

Medium 2 angle of refraction=30 degrees.

Medium 1 is optically denser as angle of refraction is less . So light rays bends more towards normal.

Conclusion:

Medium 1 is optically denser medium.

Answer 2

Answer:

Transparent medium P have more denser bcz the incident ray bends towards normal than Q medium
