Question

When a ray of light passes through an equilateral glass prism:

पर्याय

• it suffers refraction on the first refracting surface.

• it suffers refraction on both the refracting surfaces.

• it bends towards the base on both refracting surfaces

• it suffers refraction on both the refracting surfaces and it bends towards the base on both refracting surfaces

Answer 1

It suffers refraction on both the refracting surfaces and it bends towards the base on both refracting surfaces

Explanation:

When a ray of light passes through a glass prism, it undergoes refraction at both boundaries due to the change in medium. At each stage, the geometric inclination of the surfaces causes the path of the light to deflect downwards, meaning it continuously bends towards the base at both refracting surfaces, making both statements correct.
