Refraction and total internal reflection

Card 1 of 21

Where must the angle of incidence and angle of refraction always be measured from?

A

The normal (the imaginary line at 90 degrees to the boundary).

B

The refracted ray (the transmitted ray beyond the boundary).

C

The boundary (the surface separating the two materials).

D

The incident ray (the incoming ray approaching the boundary).
