Q39. When light ray goes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium, it suffers a change in direction, into (4)
second medium. The extent of the change in direction suffered by the phenomenon of change in the path of light rays
when going from one medium to another medium is known as refraction. Ray is a given pair of media can be expressed
in terms of refractive index. The refractive index is related to an important physical quantity in the relative speed of
light in different media.
