Conceptual question: 1. When a light ray A strikes the interface of mediums I and 2, there are two phenomena: one part of the incident ray is reflecting (20%) and second part of the incident ray is refracting (80%). See Figure I below. Give your responses to the following questions. Medium I Fig. 1 Medium 2 (a) Indicate the angles of incidence and refraction on Figure 1. Compare both angles. Explain it. (b) Draw the reflected ray and indicate the angle of reflection in the Fig. 1.Explain it. (c) Which medium has the higher index of refraction? Give your reasoning. (d) Which medium can be called 'optically more dense" and which medium can be called "optically less dense"? Explain. (e) In which medium is the light speed is greater and in which medium the light speed is less? Explain.
