Why light reflects in water

Open in App

Solution

Yes,water reflects light.Any material that has an index of refraction different from air will provide a reflection. ... But if a ray enters into a denser medium (example: from air to water), there is both reflection and refraction. The angle of refraction is less than the angle of incidence in these cases.
