Question

When light gets refracted through a triangular prism, the angle of incidence is _____ the angle of refraction.

  1. Always equal
  2. May not be equal
  3. Sometimes equal
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

Angle of incidence is the angle between the normal at the interface and incident ray.

The correct answer is: May not be equal


    Angle of incidence is the angle between the normal at the interface and incident ray.
    Angle of refraction is defined as the angle between the normal at the interface and refracted ray
    When light gets refracted through a triangular prism, the angle of incidence is __May not be equal___ the angle of refraction.
