A hollow prism is filled with water and placed in air. It will deviate the incident rays
- A Away from the base
- B Towards or away from the base
- C Parallel to the base
- D Towards the base
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Towards the base
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A prism is a transparent medium bounded by two non-parallel refracting surfaces. When a light ray passes through a prism, it undergoes refraction at both surfaces. According to Snell's law, when light travels from a rarer medium (air) to a denser medium (water), it bends towards…
