Question

When light is travelling from one medium to another and $\frac{\text{sin i}}{\text{sin r}}$ > 1, then the light will bend towards the normal.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

If $\frac{\text{sin i}}{\text{sin r}}$ > 1, then $\sin \text{i}>\sin \text{r}$ which means that the angle of refraction will be less than the angle of incidence. The above case is true only when light is entering a denser medium from a rarer medium. So, the light will bend towards the normal.
