Fig. shows a surface XY separating two transparent media, medium 1 and medium 2. Lines ab and cd represent wavefronts of a light wave travelling in medium 1 and incident on XY. Line ef and gh represent wavefront of the light wave in medium 2 after rafraciton.
Speed of light is

A

The same in medium-1 and medium -2

B

larger in medium-1 then in medium -2

C

larger in medium-2 than in medium-1

D

different at b and d

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As the ray ends towards thhe normal so medium (2) is denser.
