Explain with diagrams how refraction of incident light takes place from
- rarer to denser medium
- denser to rarer medium
- normal to the surface separating the two media.

उत्तर
a) rarer to denser medium:
When a ray of light travels from optically rarer medium to optically denser medium, it bends towards the normal.
b) denser to rarer medium:
When a ray of light travels from an optically denser medium to an optically rarer medium it bends away from the normal.
c) normal to the surface separating the two media:
A ray of light incident normally on a denser medium, goes without any deviation.
