Dispersion of White Light
Snell’s law is a formula that gives a relation between the angle of incidence and angle of refraction and is given as:
Question
100%

Choose the correct statement regarding light traveling in air and glass mediums. Assume that the angle of incidence is not perpendicular to the surface. Refractive index of air is nair=1.00029; refractive index of glass is nglass=1.517.
 For light traveling from glass to air, the ray becomes bent toward the normal.
 For light traveling from air to glass, the ray becomes bent away from the normal.
 For light traveling from air to glass, the refraction angle is smaller than the incidence angle.
 For light traveling from air to glass, the refraction angle is larger than the incidence angle.
 For light traveling from air to glass, the incidence angle is smaller than the refraction angle.
