Define angle of incidence and angle of refraction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The angle made by the incident ray of light with the normal to the surface at the point of incidence is called the angle of incidence .
(2) The angle made by the refracted ray of light with the normal to the surface at the point of incidence is called the angle of refraction.
