Look at the diagram below.

Ray 1 from the Sun moves through air and falls on the surface of a lake. Ray 2 is a ray which travels from the surface of the lake at the point Ray 1 strikes the lake, and moves towards air. Ray 1 and Ray 2 make the same angle with the surface of the lake. Ray 1 bends towards the vertical when it enters the lake as Ray 3

Which statement is correct about Ray 3?

Ray 3 is the part of Ray 1 which is reflected.
Ray 3 is the part of Ray 1 which is refracted.
The part of Ray 1 which is absorbed by the lake is represented by Ray 3.
The angle Ray 3 makes with the lake equals the angle Ray 1 makes with the lake.

In the process of refraction of light;

  • When light travels from a less dense medium to a denser medium, it is bent toward the normal.
  • When light passes from a more dense to a less dense medium, it is bent away from the normal.

What is refraction?

Refraction is the bending of light rays when it passes between two media of different densities.

When light travels from a less dense medium such as air to a denser medium such as water, it is bent toward the normal.

When light passes from a more dense to a less dense medium, it is bent away from the normal.
