MCQ
A student traces the path of a ray of light through a triangular glass prism for different values of angle of incidence. On analysing the ray diagrams, which one of the following conclusions is he likely to draw?
  • A
    The emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray.
  • B
    The emergent ray bends at an angle to the direction of the incident ray.
  • C
    The emergent ray and the refracted ray are at right angles to each other.
  • D
    The emergent ray is perpendicular to the incident ray.

Answer

  1. The emergent ray bends at an angle to the direction of the incident ray.

​​​​​​​Explanation:

In refraction of light through a glass prism, there is deviation or change in the path of light passing through the prism.
