उत्तर
In the refraction of light through a glass slab, the directions of the incident ray and the refracted ray are parallel to each other.
Explanation:
For refraction to happen the light ray will have to incident obliquely. If the light ray is incident on the glass slab at a zero angle of incidence the ray will travel without any change of direction.
