The figure shows a surface XY separating two transparent media, medium - 1 and medium - 2. The lines ab and cd represent wavefronts of the light ab and cd represent wavefronts of the light wave travelling in medium-1 and incident on XY. The lines of ef and gh represent wavefronts of the light wave in medium - 2 after refraction. Answer the following question : Speed of light is:

Answer»

the same in medium-1 and medium - 2
larger in medium-1 than in medium-2
larger in medium-2 than in medium-1
different at B and d

SOLUTION :Angle made by the wavelength with the SURFACE is less in medium 2 and hence medium -2 is DENSER. So speed of light is more in medium-1 than in medium -2.
