Question

Statement 1: A light ray travelling from a denser medium to a rarer medium bends away from the normal.
Statement 2: The speed of the light do not change as the light gets refracted.

• A. Both the statements are true.
• B. Both the statements are false.
• C. Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false.
• D. Statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false.

A light ray bends towards the normal when the light travels from rarer medium to denser medium and bends away from the normal when the light ray travels from denser medium to rarer medium.
Whenever the light undergoes refraction, the speed of the light changes as it interacts with the medium.
