Question

Explain the bending of a ray of light when it travels from the normal to the junction of the two media.

Solution

When a ray of light falls normally (at an angle of incidence i = 0°) on the boundary separating the two media, it does not bend and passes straight without any deviation. Here, the angle of refraction is also zero (r = 0°).
