Figure below shows a light ray of green colour incident on the prisms A,B and C. in each case, draw the path of the ray of light as it enters and emergest out of the prism. Mark the angle wherever necessary.

A

bend away from the normal

B

be totally reflected

C

bend toward the normal

D

do none of the above.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The answer is simple in that we know that `N_r`=1.5 and `N_i`=1.0 , `therefore N_r/N_i ` gt 1.0 , therefore , the ray of light slows down and bend towards the normal
