Question

In which of the following cases, the light ray bends towards the normal
while entering from one medium to another?

A) Glass to air
B) Air to glass
C) Honey to water
O D) Water to air​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Laws of refraction;-

The incident ray,the refracted ray and the normal to the refracting surface at the point of incidence lie in the same plane.

For a given pair of media and for a given colour of light the ration between the sine of angle of incidence to the sine of refraction is a constant.This constant is known as refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first medium.

When a ray of light passes through a glass slab, ∠i,∠r and the normal all lie in the same plane.

When a ray of light passes from one medium to another, here from air to glass or glass to air, the ratio

sinr
