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.

The refractive index of a transparent medium is always greater than ______.
Assertion and reasoning type

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