Question

According to the law of independence of light rays, when two or more rays cross each other:

Options

• They deflect each other away from their original paths

• They annihilate each other at the crossing point

• They continue along their own paths without disturbing one another

• They merge to form a single brighter ray

Answer 1

The independence of light rays means that rays do not interact when they intersect. Each ray continues along its own original path as if the other ray were completely absent.
