In these diagrams, the angle of refraction has been correctly marked in which diagram ?
In these diagrams, the angle of refraction has been correctly marked in which diagram ?

Options
Official answer
The angle of refraction has been correctly marked in diagram II.
Marking scheme
- 1.The angle of refraction is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence.
- 2.In diagram II, the angle of refraction is correctly marked as the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence.
Hint
The angle of refraction is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence.
Quick oral answer
The angle of refraction is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence. In diagram II, the angle of refraction is correctly marked as the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence.
Common mistakes
- 1.The angle of refraction is not the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence.
- 2.The angle of refraction is not correctly marked in diagram II.
Analysis and explanation
The angle of refraction is an important concept in the study of refraction. It is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence. In diagram II, the angle of refraction is correctly marked as the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence. This is because the refracted ray is bent towards the normal, and the angle of refraction is the measure of this bending.
Interesting facts
The angle of refraction is an important concept in the study of refraction.
The angle of refraction is the measure of the bending of the refracted ray towards the normal to the surface at the point of incidence.
