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”.

Which of the above statements are correct?

State whether true or false. If false, correct the statement.
The angle of deviation depends on the refractive index of the glass.
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
