When light passes from A to B, the value of $\frac{s i n i}{s i n r}$ is greater than 1. It implies that the light ray bends towards the normal.

Solution

The correct option is A
True

We know that,
$\frac{s i n i}{s i n r} = \frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}} .$
If the value is greater than 1, it implies;
$v_{1} > v_{2} .$
So, in medium B, light travels with a lesser velocity, implying that medium B is denser than medium A . Therefore, the ray will bends towards the normal.

A light ray is passing from medium $A$ to $B$ and $\frac{s i n i}{s i n r}$ is greater than one. This implies:

\frac{sin i}{sin r}
