A ray of light impinges on a transparent material at some angle with the normal. If the material has a higher index of refraction, as it enters, the ray will ______________. A ray of light impinges on a transparent material at some angle with the normal. If the material has a higher index of refraction, as it enters, the ray will ______________. bend to make a larger angle with the normal continue going in the same direction bend to make a smaller angle with the normal

Respuesta :

Answer:Explained below

Explanation:

(a) The ray of light will be bend more towards the normal because refractive index of material is more than the incoming medium .This can be explained by snell's law.

[tex]\theta [/tex]is incident angle and [tex]\phi [/tex]is refractive angle

[tex]n_1sin\theta =n_2Sin\phi [/tex]

as [tex]\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin\theta =sin\phi [/tex]

as [tex]\frac{n_1}{n_2}[/tex] is less than 1 therefore \phi is less than \theta
