Question

Which statement best describes the diagram? the diagram shows refraction, and medium 1 is denser than medium 2. the diagram shows refraction, and medium 1 is less dense than medium 2. the diagram shows reflection, and medium 1 is less dense than medium 2. the diagram shows reflection, and medium 1 is denser than medium 2?

Answer 1

The answers B on edge

During reflection, rays stay in the original medium, and during refraction, rays pass into a new medium.    

Answer 2

Answer:

• The given diagram in the question has a single ‘Ray of light’ passing through two mediums medium 1 and medium 2.
• The angle between the Ray and the original line passing through medium 1 is more than angle made by the ray in medium 2 hence from the diagram we can say medium 2 is much more denser than medium one or the ‘refractive index’ of medium two is more than the “refractive index” of medium 1.
