Observe the following figure AB is light ray travelling liquid air BC and BD are refracted rays ,which is the refracted ray if the liquid taken is benzene? nd which is the refracted ray if the liquid taken is water? ( The absolute refactive index of water and benzene are 1.3 nd1.5)
Answers
Answer:
hiiii mate
yrrr please provide figure.
(i) BD is the refracted ray if the liquid taken is benzene
(ii) BC is the refracted ray if the liquid taken is water
Explanation:
The figure is attached.
Given that the refractive index of water and benzene are 1.33 and 1.5 respectively
Therefore, it is clear that water is a rarer medium than benzene
We know that
When a ray of light travels from rarer to denser medium it deflects towards the normal, the denser the medium, the greater is the deflection towards the normal
from the given attached figure it is clear that the ray BD is deflected more towards the normal than that of ray BC
Therefore, BD is the refracted ray if the liquid taken is benzene
And, BC is the refracted ray if the liquid is taken as water
Hope this answer is helpful,
