Question

A light ray passing from medium 1 to medium 2 is bent away from the perpendicular normal to the boundary surface. What happens to the velocity of the refracted wave as it enters medium 2?

The velocity increases.


The velocity decreases.


The velocity becomes zero.


The velocity does not change.

Answer 1

Answer: Velocity Increases

Explanation: Plato

Answer 2

The answer is a for Plato users.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angle of the refracted ray moves away from the normal, it must be traveling in a faster medium.
