What are the two laws of refraction?

Open in App
Solution

No. The above answer is right.

The Law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Read the answer carefully :

LAWS OF REFRACTION :
  • The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence all lie in one plane.
  • For any two given pair of media, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant .
This law is known as Snell's Law.
