Question
A ray of light is incident on a water-air interface at an angle of 37 degrees. The angle of refraction will be ___ degrees.
- > 37
- = 37
- < 37
- Any of the above
Hint:
When light travels from denser medium to rarer medium the ray moves away from the normal.
The correct answer is: > 37
The correct option is a)>37.
When light travels from denser medium to rarer medium the ray moves away from the normal. This means the angle of refraction will be greater than angle of incidence. As the light travels from water which is denser to air which is rarer the angle will move away from the normal. This means the angle will be greater than 37 degrees.
