NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12
Consider a diagram of a light wave passing from a denser to a rarer medium. The light wave is incident at angle i and refracted at angle r. Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between angles i and r in this scenario?
A
The angle of refraction r is greater than the angle of incidence i.
B
The angle of refraction r is equal to the angle of incidence i.
C
The angle of refraction r is less than the angle of incidence i.
D
The angle of refraction r is 90 degrees.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
When light passes from a denser to a rarer medium, the angle of refraction r is greater than the angle of incidence i, as described by Snell's law where v2 > v1.
