Paragraph: The figure shows a surface XYX Y separating two transparent media, medium-1 and medium-2. The lines aba b and cdc d represent wavefronts of a light wave travelling in medium-1 and incident on XYX Y. The lines ef and ghg h represent wavefronts of the light wave in medium-2 after refraction.Paragraph: The figure shows a surface X Y separating two transparent media, medium-1 and medium-2. The lines a b and c
Question: Speed of light is

Options

  1. Athe same in medium-1 and medium-2
  2. Blarger in medium-1 than in medium-2
  3. Clarger in medium-2 than in medium-1
  4. Ddifferent at bb and dd

Correct answer

B. larger in medium-1 than in medium-2

Step-by-step solution

In medium-2 wavefront bends away from the normal after refraction. Therefore, ray of light which is perpendicular to wavefront bends towards the normal in medium-2 during refraction. So, medium-2 is denser or its speed in medium-1 is more. Hence, option (b) is correct. Paragraph: The figure shows a surface X Y separating two transparent media, medium-1 and medium-2. The lines a b and c
