When a light ray enters into glass medium from water at an angle of incidence 0°, what would be the angle of refraction?
General KnowledgePhysics
- A90°
- B45°
- C0°
- DThe ray will not enter at all
Explanation
At normal incidence — angle of incidence zero degrees — a light ray crosses into the second medium without bending, so the angle of refraction is also zero degrees. It does enter the glass; it is neither reflected away nor bent to 90 degrees. The correct answer is 0 degrees.
