प्रश्न
A vertical ray of light strikes the horizontal surface of some water:
- What is the angle of incidence?
- What is the angle of refraction?
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Angle of incidence is 0° because the light ray is travelling along the normal, and the angle of incidence is the angle between the light ray and the normal.
- If the incident ray falls normally on the surface, no bending of the light ray takes place. So, the angle of refraction is also 0°.
