NEET Physics Optical Instruments MCQ Question
Consider a beam of light incident from a denser medium into a rarer medium at an angle. Which of the following best describes the behavior of the refracted ray?
The refracted ray bends away from the normal.
The refracted ray bends towards the normal.
The refracted ray travels along the normal.
The refracted ray remains parallel to the incident ray.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
When light passes from a denser medium to a rarer medium, the refracted ray bends away from the normal as described in the NCERT context.
