Question

State whether the following statement is true or false:

When a ray of light travels from water $\left(\mu =4/3\right)$ to glass $\left(\mu =1.5\right)$, it bends towards the normal.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. The given light is traveling from a lesser denser medium (rarer medium) to a higher denser medium (denser medium).
2. The refractive index of water is 1.33 and that of glass is 1.5
3. In this case, the light will always bend towards the normal.

Hence the given statement is true.
