Question
Draw a labelled ray diagram to show the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction for a refracted ray of light.
Solution
Diagram for a refracted ray of light:
Here,
i = Angle of incidence
r = Angle of refraction
i' = Angle of incident at the emergent point
r' = Angle of refraction at the emergent point
