incident rayemergent rayangle of incidenceangle of emergence

Marking Scheme

  • 1The correct path of the rays has been shown by III.
  • 2This is because the incident ray and the emergent ray are parallel to each other, and the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence.

Hint

The correct path of the rays has been shown by III. This is because the incident ray and the emergent ray are parallel to each other, and the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence.

Quick Oral Answer

The correct path of the rays has been shown by III. This is because the incident ray and the emergent ray are parallel to each other, and the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence.
