Question
Which of the following remains true for refraction at BOTH a rectangular slab and a triangular prism, according to the chapter? leaving it
The angle of refraction always equals the angle of incidence
Light bends towards the normal when entering a denser medium and away from the normal when
No refraction occurs in either case
The emergent ray is always perpendicular to the incident ray
Answer
Light bends towards the normal when entering a denser medium and away from the normal when
Detailed Explanation
This basic pattern of refraction (towards normal into denser medium, away from normal into rarer medium) applies in both the slab and the prism cases described in the chapter.
