In your laboratory you trace the path of light rays through a glass slab for different values of angle of incidence (`angle` i) and in each case measure the values of the corresponding angle of refraction (`angle` r) and angle of emergence (`angle` e). On the basis of your observation your correct conclusion is:

A

`angle`i is more than `angle`r, but nearly equal to `angle`e

B

`angle`i is less than `angle`r, but nearly equal to `angle`e

C

`angle`i is more than `angle`e, but nearly equal to `angle`r

D

`angle`i is less than `angle`e, but nearly equal to `angle`r

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

When a ray oflight passes through the glass slab, then the angle of incidence is found to be nearly equal to angle of emergence and greater than angle of refraction

A student very cautiously traces the path of a ray through a glass slab for different values of the angle of incidence (/_i) . He then measures the corresponding values of the angle of refraction (/_r) and the angle of emergence (/_e) for every value of the angle of incidence. On analysing these measurements of angles, his conclusion would be
