Question

which of the following factors is responsible for refraction

angle of incidence

mass density

optical density

frequency of light​

Answer 1

Answer:

frequency of light d. is the right answer

Answer 2

The correct answer will be option c.

• Optical density is the measure of the degree to which a medium refracts light.
• Hence, if a material is optically denser then it will refract more light and will have a higher refractive index. Consequently, if a medium has lower optical density then it will refract less and will have smaller refractive index.
