The light will enter the second medium. No deviation will occur but the velocity of light will be changed.

[I am assuming that the R.I. of two media are different]

When a ray light passes normally from one medium to another it gos undeviated?

Yes, when a ray of light passes normally from one medium to another (i.e., the incident angle is zero), it continues in a straight line undeviated. This is because there is no change in speed or direction at the interface between the two media.


What happens when the incident ray is at an angle of 90 and deg to the prism?

When the incident ray is at an angle of 90 degrees to the prism, it will not enter the prism but will reflect off of it. This occurs because the light undergoes total internal reflection at the interface between the two mediums due to the critical angle being reached.


What is the angle between the incident and reflected rays when a ray of light is incident normally on a plane mirror?

When a ray of light is incident normally on a plane mirror, the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 0 degrees. This means that the reflected ray will travel back along the same path as the incident ray, creating a symmetry in the reflection process.


What happens when light is falling perpendicular by to an interface of two media?

When light falls perpendicular to an interface of two media, it continues to travel in a straight line without changing direction. There is no change in the speed or wavelength of the light. This phenomenon is known as normal incidence.


What is the relation between incident ray and emergent ray?

The incident ray is the ray of light that first strikes the surface of a medium or interface, while the emergent ray is the ray of light that exits the medium after being refracted or reflected. The direction of the emergent ray depends on the angle of incidence and the properties of the medium.

What are the 2 conditions when the direction does not change on refraction?

-- Light approaches the boundary between any two media along the normal direction. -- Light approaches the boundary at any angle and the indexes of refraction of both media are equal.

What does refraction rely on?

It relies on a change of the speed of light in certain materials.

What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is faster?

-- Its speed increases. -- Its wavelength increases. -- It refracts away from the normal to the interface at the point of incidence.

What happens when light travels into a prism?

As light incidents normally then nothing happens. But if light is incident at an acute angle with one refracting face then composite white light gets dispersed while coming out of the other refracting face. Usually as light is incident at an acute angle even in a glass slab then dispersion tales place as refractive index of the glass is different for different colours and so having different angle of refraction. But as it has to emerge out of the slab at the opposite face there once again all colours get mingled and only white light comes out. But in case of prism that chance is missing and so dispersion leads to have VIBGYOR


Will there any difference between energy of trasmitted light from glass and incident light?

Yes, there is some reflected light lost at each interface, which will lower the intensity of the beam. The polarization may be affected too. Depending on the glass there might be a color shift.


When light is incident on a metal surface it emits electrons What happens if the intensity of light increases?

If the intensity of light increases, more photons will be incident on the metal surface, leading to a higher rate of electron emission through the photoelectric effect. This results in a higher current of emitted electrons.
