Options
Official answer
The correct path of the rays has been shown by III.
Marking scheme
- 1.The correct path of the rays has been shown by III.
- 2.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.
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.
