Light ray emerges from water into air. Draw a ray diagram indicating the change in its path in water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a ray of light travels from dense medium to rarer medium [ from water medium to air medium ], light ray moves away from the normal.
`therefore` Angle pf incidence < Angle of refraction.
