If a wavefront undergoes refraction at a boundary between two media and the refracted wave bends towards the normal, which of the following is true about the speeds of light in the two media?
A
The speed of light is greater in the first medium.
B
The speed of light is greater in the second medium.
C
The speeds of light in both media are equal.
D
The speed of light is zero in the first medium.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the wave optics model, when a wavefront bends towards the normal upon refraction, it indicates that the speed of light is greater in the first medium compared to the second medium, as described in the NCERT context.
