Light travelling from a denser medium to a rarer medium along a normal to the boundary:(a) is refracted towards the normal (b) is refracted away from the normal(c) goes along the boundary (d) is not refracted

Academic Physics NCERT Class 10

(d) is not refracted

Explanation

When a ray of light travels along with the normal to the boundary or hits the boundary of the two media at 90° it is not refracted.

When a ray of light travelling in glass enters into water obliquely:(a) it is refracted towards the normal (b) it is not refracted at all(c) it goes along the normal (d) it is refracted away from the normal
If a ray of light goes from a denser medium to a rarer medium, will it bend towards the normal or away from the normal?
A light ray moving from a rarer to a denser medium bends towards the normal on refraction. If we increase the angle of incidence will the refracted ray move more towards the normal or away from normal?
If a ray of light goes from a rarer medium to a denser medium, will it bend towards the normal or away from it?
As light rays pass from water into glass, are they refracted towards the normal or away from the normal?
As light rays pass from air into a glass prism, are they refracted towards or away from the normal?
As light rays emerge from a glass prism into air, are they refracted towards or away from the normal?
A ray of light travelling in water falls at right angles to the boundary of a parallel-sided glass block. The ray of light:is refracted towards the normalis refracted away from the normaldoes not get refractedis reflected along the same path
A ray of light is travelling from a rarer medium to a denser medium. While entering the denser medium at the point of incidence, itgoes straight into the second mediumbends towards the normalbends away from the normaldoes not enter at all
Fill in the following blanks with suitable words:(a) Light travelling along a normal is __________ refracted.(b) Light bends when it passes from water into air. We say that it is __________.
(a) How can you bend light away from the normal?(b) How must light travel out of a substance if it is not going to be refracted?
A ray of light goes from water into air. Will it bend towards the normal or away from the normal?
Draw a labelled ray diagram to show how a ray of light is refracted when it passes:(a) from air into an optically denser medium.(b) from an optically denser medium into air.
A ray of light travelling in air enters obliquely into water. Does the ray light bend towards the normal or away from the normal? Why?
A ray of light travelling in glass emerges into air. State whether it will bend towards the normal or away from the normal.
