Explain refraction of light and write the laws of refraction.

Answer»

When a ray of light travels from one medium to another medium there is a deviation in its path. This phenomenon is called refraction of light. 

Following are the laws of refraction:

  • When a ray of light travels from a rarer medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal.
  • When a ray of light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium, it bends away from the normal.
  • Ratio of sine of angle of incident to sine of angle refraction is constant for a given pair of media. This is called Snell’s law.
