Statement I: A lighr ray is incident on ...

Statement I: A lighr ray is incident on a glass slab. Some portion of it is reflected and some is refracted. Reeefracted and reflected rays are always perpendicular to each other.
Statement II: Angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

A

Statement is True, Statement II is True, Statement II is correct explanation for Statement I

B

Statement I is True, Statement II is True, Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d.

`1xxsini=musinr=musin(90-i)`
`sini=mucosi`
`rArr tani=mu`
So, reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular if `tani=mu`.
