What happens when a ray of light is incident normal to the interface between two media? Draw the corresponding neat and labelled diagram.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a ray of light is incident normal to the interface between two media, the ray propagates undeviated as it travels from the first medium to the second medium irrespective of the refractive indices of the two media.In this case, the angle of incidence ( i) is zero and so also the angle of refraction ( r ) .
