Question
A student traces the path of a ray of white light through a rectangular glass slab and marks, the angles of incidence (∠i) , refraction (∠r) and emergence (∠e) as shown. Which angle or angles has he not marked correctly?
(A) ∠i only
(B) ∠i and ∠r
(C) ∠i and ∠e
(D) ∠r and ∠e
Solution
Incident and emergent angles are measured from the normal of the plane.
The Correct Answer is C
