Light passing from air to glass is refra...

Light passing from air to glass is refracted ,as is light passing from glass to air. However, when you look out of a window at the view outside, the light does not seem to have been distorted. This is because

A

the angle of refraction is too small to observe

B

light incident upon the glass is partially reflected and this tends to mask the effect of refraction

C

the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray and only lateral displacement occurs

D

the window pane is too thin for refraction to occur.
