14.When light travels from a medium with a lower refractive index (𝑛1) to a medium with a higher refractive index (𝑛2).In which direction does the light ray bend relative to the normal line?Closer to the normal Away from the normal Straight as the incident ray
Solution
Cuando la luz viaja de un medio con un índice de refracción más bajo (𝑛1) a un medio con un índice de refracción más alto (𝑛2), la dirección en la que se dobla el rayo de luz en relación con la línea normal es:
-
Más cerca de la normal: La luz se dobla hacia la normal. Esto se debe a que al pasar de un medio menos denso a uno más denso, la velocidad de la luz disminuye, causando que el rayo se incline hacia la normal.
-
Lejos de la normal: Esto no ocurre en este caso, ya que la luz se dobla hacia la normal cuando entra en un medio con un índice de refracción más alto.
-
Recto como el rayo incidente: Esto solo ocurre si los índices de refracción de ambos medios son iguales, lo cual no es el caso aquí.
Por lo tanto, la respuesta correcta es que el rayo de luz se dobla más cerca de la normal.
