NEET Physics Huygens Principle MCQ Question
If a wavefront travels through two different media with speeds v1 and v2, and forms angles of incidence i and refraction r respectively, what is the relation between these angles and speeds?
sin i / sin r = v1 / v2
sin i / sin r = v2 / v1
sin r / sin i = v1 / v2
sin i = sin r
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Using Huygens Principle, the relation between the angles of incidence and refraction with the speeds in the respective media is given by sin i / sin r = v1 / v2, as derived from refracted wavefront construction.
