You observe a light ray move from one piece of glass to another (a different type of glass) and the light ray bends towards the glass-glass interface (away from the normal) when it enters the 2nd piece of glass. You deduce that:

Respuesta :

Answer:

second medium is less optical denser than first medium

Explanation:

As per Snell's law we know that

[tex]\mu_1 sin\theta_1 = \mu_2 sin\theta_2[/tex]

so here we know that

[tex]\theta_1 [/tex] = angle of incidence

[tex]\theta_2[/tex] = angle of refraction

As we know that light ray goes away from the normal when it move from medium 1 to medium 2

so here angle of refraction will me more than the angle of incidence

so we have

[tex]\frac{sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2} = \frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}[/tex]

since we know that

[tex]\theta_1 < \theta_2[/tex]

so we have

[tex]\frac{sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2} < 1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1} <1[/tex]

so we can say that

[tex]\mu_2 < \mu_1[/tex]

so we can say that second medium is less optical denser than first medium
