Solution

  • There are two refraction laws as follows:

1. The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence and sine of the angle of refraction for two particular media is always constant.

2. Incident ray, refracted ray, and the normal at the incident point always lie on the same plane.

  • The rainbow is an example that follows the refraction law of light.
