Question
For a light ray passing from air to water, according to Snell's law:
(n represents refractive index of the medium, θair is the angle of incidence and θwater is the angle of refraction)
(n represents refractive index of the medium, θair is the angle of incidence and θwater is the angle of refraction)
Answer: Option A
:
A
According to Snell's law, for a light ray travelling from one medium to another, the ratio of sines of angle of incidence to the angle of refraction is a constant. This constant is the refractive index of medium 2 with respect to medium one.
Here,
nair sinθair =nwatersinθwater or ⇒SinθairSinθwater=nwaternaircorrectly represents Snell's law.
