- and the angle of refraction (r).

उत्तर

Refraction of Light:
-
The incident ray from air to glass bends towards the normal PO, or refracted ray, and the OQ, or incident ray.
- It bends away from the normal PO, incident ray, and OQ, refracted ray, as it travels from glass to air.

A ray of monochromatic light is incident from air into a glass slab. Draw a labelled ray diagram indicating the change in its path till it emerges out of the slab. In the diagram, mark the angle of incidence (i) and the angle of refraction (r) at the first interface. How is the refractive index of glass related to the angles i and r?
