Question
A light ray traveling through air (n = 1) enters the kerosene (n = 1.44) floating on top of the water (1.33) in a container. It bends ___ the normal at the air-kerosene interface and ___ the normal at the kerosene-water interface.
- Towards, away from
- Away from, towards
- Towards, towards
- Away from, away from
Hint:
- When a ray of light passes from a rarer to denser medium it bends towards the normal.
- When light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium, it bends away from the normal.
The correct answer is: Towards, away from
- When a ray of light passes from a rarer to denser medium it bends towards the normal.
- When light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium, it bends away from the normal.
- At air-kerosene surface, air is rarer and kerosene is denser so it bends towards the normal.
- At kerosene-water surface, kerosene is denser and water is rarer so it bends away from the normal.
