Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 6RAT
When light refracts, there is a change in
(a) speed.
(b) direction.
(c) both speed and direction.
(d) frequency.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The correct option for the statement, "when light refracts, there is a change in."
Answer to Problem 6RAT
The correct option for the statement, "when light refracts, there is a change in" is option (c).
Explanation of Solution
When light rays move from one to another medium, the bending of light ray happens, which is termed as refraction. The direction of the incident light ray changes as it enters another medium.
The speed of light and wavelength changes according to the different medium, So, when the light ray travels to another medium, the variation in the speed of ray occurs. Therefore, when the light refracts, there is a change in the speed as well as the direction of the light ray.
Conclusion:
Therefore, The correct option for the statement, "when light refracts, there is a change in" is option (c).
