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.

  1. Towards, away from
  2. Away from, towards
  3. Towards, towards
  4. Away from, away from

hintHint:

  • 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.
