The correct sequencing of angle of incidence, angle of emergence, angle of refraction and lateral displacement shown in the following diagram by digits 1 , 2, 3 and 4 is:

A

2, 4, 1, 3

B

2, 1, 4, 3

C

1, 2, 4, 3

D

2, 1, 3, 4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Angle 2 is angle of incidence, as it is formed between the incident ray and the normal.
Angle 1 is angle of emergence, as it is formed between the emergent ray with normal. Angle 4 is angle of refraction as it is formed between the refracted ray and the normal. 3 shows the lateral displacement. Hence, the correct answer is 2,1, 4, 3.
