Question
The Figure shows a surface XY separating two transparent media, medium-1 and medium-2. The lines ab and cd represent wave fronts of a light wave traveling in medium-1 and incident on XY. The lines ef and gh represent wave fronts of the light wave in medium-2 after refraction.
Speed of light is
- The same in medium-1 and medium-2
- Larger in medium-1 than in medium-2
- Larger in medium-2 than in medium-1
- Different at b and d
The correct answer is: Larger in medium-1 than in medium-2
Rays are bendy forward normal in medium-2
