Question

When a ray of light enters an optically denser medium, it is deviated away from normal.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Optically rare medium is the one in which light can travel at a fast rate.
2. Optically dense medium is the one in which light travels slowly.
3. When the light travels from one medium to another, its speed changes and so does the path.
4. When a ray of light travels from an optically denser medium to a rarer medium, it bends away from the normal.
5. When a ray of light travels from an optically rarer medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal.
6. Therefore, the given statement is false.
