12. Case Based Question
When a ray of light propagates from a denser medium to a rarer medium, it bends away from the
normal. When the incident angle is increased, the refracted ray deviates more from the normal. For
a particular angle of incidence in the denser medium, the refracted ray just grazes the interface of
the two surfaces. This angle of incidence is called the critical angle for the pair of media involved
a. For a ray incident at the critical angle, them find the angle of refraction.
