Question

Suppose a light ray is changing direction when it changes from one transparent medium to another. Which of the following changes would make it change direction even more, to make a path with a greater angle to its original path? (select all that apply) A. change to a higher frequency of light B. move the incident ray to take a direction closer to perpendicular to the interface (closer to the normal line) C. change the second medium to get a greater difference than before in the speed of light in the two mediums D. make the light ray wider

Answer 1

The correct option is C i..e.
change the second medium to get a greater difference than before in the speed of light in the two mediums


Explanation: whenever light goes from one medium to another, kts frequency remains unchanged. It totally depends on tbe refractive index of the medium, which can change the speed of light.
If the refractive index of the entering medium is less than that of the medium from which light came,then the angle will be wider.
