Question

$μ_{1}, μ_{2}$ are the refractive indices of two media A and B. If $μ_{1} > μ_{2}$ , when two light rays travel from air to medium A and air to medium B with the same angle. of incidence then the angle of refractions are $r_{1}$ and $r_{1}$ respectively. What is the relation between $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ ?

Solution

The correct option is B $r_{1} < r_{2}$
It is to be noted that refractive index of a medium is directly proportional to angle of deviation i.e. if a medium is optically denser then the light will bend more towards the normal.

if $μ_{1} > μ_{2}$ then $r_{2} > r 1$ as for $μ_{1}$ light will bend more towards the normal.
