Question

In an experiment to trace the path of a ray of light through a triangular glass prism, a student would observe that the emergent ray

(a) is parallel to the incident ray.

(b) is along the same direction of incident ray.

(c) gets deviated and bends towards the thinner part of the prism.

(d) gets deviated and bends towards the thicker part (base) of the prism.

Answer 1

In an experiment to trace the path of a ray of light through a triangular glass prism, a student would observe that the emergent ray gets deviated and bends towards the thicker part (base) of the prism.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
