  1. Question 1

    Q1. Snell's Law describes the relationship between angles and refractive indices during:

    • A) Refraction of light at an interface between two media
    • B) Reflection of light from a mirror
    • C) Diffraction of light through a narrow slit
    • D) Dispersion of light through a prism

    Answer: Refraction of light at an interface between two media

    Explanation: Snell's Law (n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂) quantifies how a light ray bends when crossing the boundary between two media with different refractive indices, explaining why objects appear shifted when viewed through water or glass.
