When a light ray passes from air to water with a non-zero angle the ray will be
When a light ray passes from air to water with a non-zero angle the ray will be
Options:
- a) bending towards the normal
- b) bending away from the normal
- c) propagating in straight line
- d) reflected towards the opposite direction
- a) bending towards the normal
- b) bending away from the normal
- c) propagating in straight line
- d) reflected towards the opposite direction
correct answer : a)
Explanation:
When light enters from a rarer medium (air) to a denser medium (water) at a non-zero angle, it bends towards the normal.
