Concept explainers
To identify: Whether the light will be refracted from air into water or not.
Answer to Problem 17A
Yes, the light would be refracted in passing from air into water.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The bending of light or change in the direction of light, when light travels from one medium to another is termed as refraction of light.
Explanation:
Refraction of light depends upon the refractive index of the medium, nature of the medium, optical density,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the light would be refracted.
