Solution

The correct option is A True

Snell's law (also known as the Snell–Descartes law and the law of refraction) is a formula used to describe the relationship between the angle of incidence and refraction when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media such as water, glass, or air.

sinθ1sinθ2=v1v2=λ1λ2=n2n1

sinθ1sinθ2=constant

So the graph is a straight line.
