Question

Relative refractive index of med.2 with respect to med.1 is greater than 1. If a ray of light is incident form med.1 to med.2, in which direction will it bend?

Towards the normal.

Away from normal.

Along the normal.

In straight line along incident path.

Answer 1

Answer:

Towards the normal.

Explanation:

As given refractive index of medium 2 with respect to medium 1 is greater than 1 so speed of light in 2 medium will be less than speed of light in 1 medium.Therefore medium 1 is rarer and medium 2 is denser.
