A beam of light propagating in medium AA with index of refraction n  (A)n\,\,\left( A \right) passes across an interface into medium BB with index of refraction n  (B)n\,\,\left( B \right). The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction; v  (A)v\,\,\left( A \right) and v  (B)v\,\,\left( B \right) denote the speed of light in AA and BB. Then which of the following is true
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
v  (A)  >  v  (B)v\,\,\left( A \right)\,\, > \,\,v\,\,\left( B \right) and n  (A)  <  n  (B)n\,\,\left( A \right)\,\, < \,\,n\,\,\left( B \right)
Option B (v(A)>v(B)v(A) > v(B) and n(A)<n(B)n(A) < n(B)) is correct because when the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction, light travels from a rarer to a denser medium.
