Draw a ray diagram to show the refraction of a monochromatic ray through a prism when it suffers a minimum deviation. How is the angle of emergence related to the angle of incidence in this position.
Assertion: When a pencil is partly immersed in water and held obliquely to the surface, the pencil appears to bend at the water surface.
Reason: The apparent bending of the pencil is due to the refraction of light when it passes from water to air.
