MCQ
A pencil dipped partially in water appears bent because of:
- AReflection at water surface
- BDiffraction at water surface
- CRefraction at water surface
- DWater is flowing
✓
Answer
- Refraction at water surface
Explanation:
Refraction is a phenomenon in which a light ray incident on a surface separating two transparent media bends at the change of medium.
Snell's law gives the relation between angle of incidence and refraction and the Refractive index of the respective medium.
$\mu_1$sin(i) = $\mu_2$sin(r)
where, i, r are the angles of incidence and refraction respectively.
