Question
Which of the following mediums (with refractive indices given) creates the highest bending of light?
- 1.5
- 1.3
- 2.4
- 1.8
Hint:
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
