MCQ
In refraction, light waves are bent on passing from one medium to the second medium, because, in the second medium
- Athe frequency is different
- Bthe coefficient of elasticity is different
- ✓the speed is different
- Dthe amplitude is smaller
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
the speed is different
c
Since the speed of light changes in the second medium, its direction also changes.
Since the speed of light changes in the second medium, its direction also changes.
