The ratio of sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant for a given colour and for the given pair of media. Which law is this?
-
A.
Ohm's law
-
B.
Newton's law
-
C.
C) Gauss law
-
D.
Snell's Law
Correct Answer:
D. Snell's Law
Explanation:
Snell's Law, also known as the Law of Refraction, states that for a specific pair of media and a given color of light, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction remains constant. This constant is equivalent to the refractive index of the second medium relative to the first. While Ohm's law pertains to electricity, Newton's laws focus on motion, and Gauss's law deals with electric fields, Snell's Law specifically describes how light bends when passing between different materials.
