Refraction of Light
Refraction of Light: Overview
This topic covers concepts such as Angle of Prism, Condition for Minimum Deviation in Prism, Deviation versus Incident Angle Graph in Prism, Prism, Angle of Deviation of a Ray in a Prism, Emergent Ray, and Refraction through a Rectangular Glass Slab.
Important Questions on Refraction of Light
Velocity of light is greater in denser medium than in rarer medium.

Through a glass slab, the light before coming back to the air suffers refraction two times.

The refraction happening in a glass slab and prism are the same.

Explain the process of refraction happening in a glass slab.

Explain the process of refraction happening in a rectangular prism.

The ray coming out of a glass after refraction is known as the emergent ray.
