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 E in medium 2, what can you conclude?
Next question : J - Refraction and the critical angle.
Previous question : H - Refraction (case 2).
List of conceptual questions for test 2.
