Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions. The path of a light ray from air to two different media A and B for a given angle of incidence is as shown.

If angle of incidence is increased in both media, then angle of refraction will

A

Increase

B

Decrease

C

Remain same

D

Become zero in medium A and will remain same in medium B.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Refractive index `n = (sin i)/(sin r)` where i and r are angle of incidence and angle of refraction and `(sin i)/(sin r)` for a particular medium remains same i.e., constant.
