Q-00040327
If the incident ray hits a prism at an angle of incidence of 30 degrees, what happens to the refracted ray?
1
It exits at the same angle
2
It bends towards the normal
3
It bends away from the normal
4
It reflects back
Answer and Solution
Answer
B. It bends towards the normal
Solution:
When a ray of light enters a denser medium, such as glass from air, it bends towards the normal. Thus, the refracted ray bends towards the normal at an angle less than 30 degrees.
