Question

During normal incidence of a light ray on a set of multiple mediums placed one after the other, the incident ray is not ___ the emergent ray.

  1. In the same line with
  2. Perpendicular
  3. Parallel
  4. All of the above

hintHint:

  • The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of emergence in a glass slab (i=e).,and here it is normal incidence.

The correct answer is: Perpendicular


    • The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of emergence in a glass slab (i=e).
    • In Normal incidence, the ray of light is perpendicular to the line of separation, so it lies in the same line as the normal, hence the incident angle is zero.
    • So angle i=e=0
    • Hence they are not perpendicular.
