Question 13

Which statement is correct?

A

The speed of light in a medium is equal to the speed of light in a vacuum divided by the refractive index of the medium.

B

When a light ray passes from air into glass, the angle of refraction is always greater than the angle of incidence.

C

The sine of the critical angle at a medium-air interface is equal to the refractive index of the medium.

D

The angle of refraction is directly proportional to the angle of incidence when light passes from air into water.
