  • In the experiment to trace the path of a ray of light through a parallel sided glass slab, a student measured the angles of refraction for three different angles of incidence. He will find that :

    A
    angle of refraction is always equal to the angle of incidence
    B
    angle of refraction is always smaller than the angle of incidence
    C
    angle of refraction is always greater than the angle of incidence
    D
    angle of refraction can be smaller or greater than the angle of incidence depending on the refractive index of glass slab

    B
    `sqrt(5/2)`
    C
    `sqrt(3)/2`
