प्रश्न
A vertical ray of light strikes the horizontal surface of some water:
What is the angle of incidence?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Angle of incidence is `0^0` because light ray is travelling along the normal and angle of incidence is the angle between the light ray and the normal.

Assertion and reasoning type
- Assertion: If the refractive index of the medium is high (denser medium) the velocity of the light in that medium will be small
- Reason: Refractive index of the medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of the light
