Respuesta :

Answer : The correct option is, (a)

Explanation :

Refraction : It is a bending of light. When light going from rarer medium to denser medium then the light bends towards the normal line.

Reflection : When light ray falling on the surface then the ray coming out from the surface is reflected ray.

In reflection, the incident angle is equal to the reflected angle.

Therefore, the arrow B in the image is the reflected ray.

Reflection is the interaction of the ray with the surface that comes to the originated position. The arrow- B represents the reflected ray in the given image.

What are Reflection and refraction?

When a light ray after interacting with the surface comes back to the medium again is called reflection. For example- Some parts (B) of the light ray (A) reflected back to the air medium again.

When the light ray moves from one medium to another after interacting with a surface is called refraction. For example-  Some parts (D, C) of the light ray (A) refracted after interacting with the water surface.

Therefore, option a. the arrow- B represents the reflected ray in the given image.
