Question

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF A RAY OF LIGHT STRIKES 2 MEDIUM OF SURFACES

Open in App
Solution

When a light ray travels from one medium to another medium at an angle then it bends and its path changes, due to refraction. Due to this, the rays seem to be coming from a point different than from where they are actually coming from. This is why, the bottom of a tank or a pond containing water appears to be raised.
