Question

In the diagrams, construct refracted rays to indicate the direction which the light rays bend upon crossing the boundary.

If light travels faster in medium 1 than in medium 2, then upon entering medium 2, the light will bend towards from the normal. If the index of refraction of medium 1 is greater than medium 2, then upon entering medium 2, the light will bend away from the normal.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: 

An incident ray 

 

Step 2

1). If light travels faster in medium 1 than in medium 2, then upon entering medium 2, the light will bend towards from the normal. So, medium 1 is rarer and medium 2 is denser.
