NEET Physics Refraction MCQ Question
What happens to the angle of refraction when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle?
No refraction occurs.
Refraction increases significantly.
Refraction becomes equal to the angle of incidence.
Light is absorbed completely.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
When the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle, Snell’s law cannot be satisfied, and hence no refraction occurs, leading to total internal reflection.
