Question

State Snell’s law of refraction

Short Note

Solution

Refraction of light rays, as they travel from one medium to another medium, obeys two laws, which are known as Snell’s laws of refraction. They are:

  1.  The incident ray, the refracted ray, and the normal at the point of intersection, all lie in the same plane.
  2. The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence (i) to the sine of the angle of refraction (r) is equal to the refractive index of the medium, which is a constant.
    `sini/sinr` = µ
