Question

In an experiment to trace the path of a ray of light through a triangular glass prism, a student would observe that the emergent ray : (a) is parallel to the incident ray. (b) is along the same direction of incident ray. (c) gets deviated and bends towards the thinner part of the prism. (d) gets deviated and bends towards the thicker part (base) of the prism.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (d) : gets deviated and bends towards the thicker part (base) of the prism.

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct option is d: gets deviated and bends towards the thicker part (base) of the prism.

Explanation:

When emergent ray emerges from the prism it moves from denser medium to rarer medium hence moves away from the normal so bends towards the thicker part of the prism.
