Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding the first law of refraction, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Refraction**: Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another. This bending occurs due to a change in the speed of light in different media. 2. **Identifying the Rays**: In the context of refraction, we have: - An **incident ray**: The ray of light that strikes the boundary between two media. ...
