Hey there!

Here is the answer to your question.

Answer : A - b

The reason why is you have refraction and reflection. Meaning, that you arrow B is being reflected.

I have included the vocabulary definitions I have studied for you and how I got the answer.

Refraction - It is the activity of bending the light. When the light that going from rarer medium to denser medium, the light soon bends towards its normal line.

Reflection - When the light ray is falling on the surface, then the ray that is coming from outside of the surface is known as a reflected ray.

In your reflection, the incident angle is now equal to the best reflected angle!

I hope this helps you!! ☺

I think that the answer is A. B

So like when you have a magnifying glass and the light hits it, it hits the ground and angles up. I think that is what Ray B is doing.

I hope this helps and makes sense!! :)
