Conceptual Test 2G

A ray of light strikes the interface between two media. At the interface some of the light is reflected; the reflected ray obeys the law of reflection, so the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.

If the refracted ray follows path C in medium 2, what can you conclude?

Next question : H - Refraction (case 2).

Previous question : E - Current induced in a loop moving in a magnetic field.

List of conceptual questions for test 2.
