MCQ

If the light moving in a straight line bends by a small but fixed angle, it may be a case of:

Reflection.
Refraction.
Diffraction.
Dispersion.

A
Only $A$
✓
$A$ and $B$
C
Only $C$
D
$C$ and $D$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$A$ and $B$

When the light strikes on a surface nearly parallel to it, it then bends by a small and fixed angle after reflection. Also, when the light travels from one medium to another with slight differences in their refractive indices, it bends by a small angle. Thus, the bending of light by a small but fixed angle can be the case of either reflection or refraction.
