A ray of light travelling from medium A to medium B bends away from the Norman Which medium is optically denser?
Medium A is the more optically dense medium. As when the light enters B its speed increases taking it toward the normal.
Why is white light dispersed when it pases from one medium to anonther?
a light ray is refracted when it passes from one medium to another at an angle and its speed changes. at the interface , it is bent in one direction if the material enters in denser and in the other direction if less dense.
When does total internal refraction happen?
Total internal refraction happens when a light ray travel from a lighter medium to a denser medium. Ex. A light ray passing through a Prism.
When light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium it bends away from the normal Is it possible for the light ray to reflect back in the same medium?
Yes, at the critical angle, all of the light will reflect, and will not leave the medium.
What is refracted light?
The refraction of light is the change in direction of a light ray when it crosses a boundary between two transparent substances. Refraction of light is the change in direction of a light ray due to a change in its speed as it goes from one medium to another.The speed and wavelength of a light ray change when this occurs, but the frequency remains the same.When light travels from denser medium to rarer medium it moves away from the normal [line at right angles to the boundary] and when light travels from rarer to denser it moves towards the normal.
What is emergent ray in refraction of light?
The emergent ray is the ray of light which passes through a denser medium(glass) to a rarer medium(air).

Medium A is the more optically dense medium. As when the light enters B its speed increases taking it toward the normal.

What is refliction?
when the ray of light enters a medium in bends a come out this is known as refliction of light

What are the non ohmic materials give examples?
draw the ray diagram of refraction of light at curved surfaces the following rarer medium to denser medium
Is it possible to achieve total internal reflection if the object is in rarer medium?
First we should know what will be happen when the light ray goes from denser medium to rarer medium and rarer medium to denser mdeium.... 1. The light refracted away from the normal (Denser to Rarer) 2. The light refracted towards the normal (Rarer to denser) So it is not possibel to get total internal reflection whan the light travel from rarer to denser medium...... Conditions to achieve to get TIR 1. The light should travel from denser mediumt to rarer medium 2. The angle of incidence at the interface should be greater than critical angle if you are not satisfied kindly mail me cramkum@gmail.com
How can the path of a light ray affect once it enters a nonzero angle with an index of refraction greater than the original medium?
how can the path of a light ray be affected once it enters a nonzero angle with a greater index of refraction
When will a light ray be bent closer to the normal?
When it enters a medium with a higher index of refraction (i.e. air --> water)
What happens to the light that is directed to a medium with different density?
The light ray bends when it enters a medium with different density. It either bends towards or away from the normal depending on whether the medium is more dense or less dense.
