Question

Which of the following mediums (with refractive indices given) creates the highest bending of light? 

  1. 1.5
  2. 1.3
  3. 2.4
  4. 1.8

hintHint:

Refraction is the bending of the light ray with respect to the density of the medium.

The correct answer is: 2.4


    The medium with a refractive index of more than 2.4, causes the highest bending of rays.
    • Refraction shows the bending of the light ray with respect to the density of the medium.
    • When the density of the medium is more, the refractive index will be more that causes more bending of the light rays.
    • The bending of the light ray will be more in the case where the refractive index of the medium is 2.4
