A light ray enters from medium A to medium B as shown in Figure 10.2. The refractive index of medium B relative to A will be
Options
greater than unity
less than unity
equal to unity
zero

Solution
greater than unity
Explanation -
The ray of light travelling from medium A to medium B bends towards the normal. It shows that the medium B is denser and the medium A is rarer.
