The ray of light as it enters will

A

bend away from the normal

B

be totally reflected

C

bend toward the normal

D

do none of the above.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The answer is simple in that we know that `N_r`=1.5 and `N_i`=1.0 , `therefore N_r/N_i ` gt 1.0 , therefore , the ray of light slows down and bend towards the normal
