उत्तर
The given sentence is wrong.
Explanation:
This statement is incorrect because, according to the laws of refraction, the incident ray and the refracted ray lie on opposite sides of the normal (an imaginary perpendicular line drawn at the point of incidence), not a “column”.

- Reason: Refractive index of the medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of the light
