MCQ
When a ray of light enters from a denser medium to a rarer medium then:
- Athe light ray bends towards the normal
- ✓the speed of light increases
- Cthe angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
- Dits wavelength decreases.
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
the speed of light increases
(b)
the speed of light increases
Explanation:
When a ray of light travels from optically denser medium to optically rarer medium, the wavelength increases and hence speed also increases.
