(a) State two laws of refraction of light.

(a) State two laws of refraction of light.

Solution

Laws of Refraction of light : (i) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal to the interface of two transparent media at the point of incidence, all lie in the same plane. (ii) The ratio of the sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant, for the light of a given colour and for the given pair of media. Note: If a student writes sin i / Sin r = constant instead of statement, award ½ mark only)
