Question

Light ray 1 strikes the surface, separating air and water as shown below.

A horizontal line is drawn and the part above the line is labeled Air and the part below the line is labeled Water. There is one slanting ray labeled 1 which falls on the line at a point and there are four rays of light labeled 2, 3, 4, and 5 which move away from same point on the line. Ray 5 is exactly vertical to the line and below the line, ray 4 is on the right of ray 5 and makes an angle of about 25 degrees with ray 5. Ray 3 is above the line and makes an angle of about 25 degrees with the line. Ray 2 is on the right of ray 1 and ray 1 and ray 2 make angles of about 25 degrees with the vertical at the point where ray 1 strikes.

Which of the following is the refracted ray for ray 1?

Group of answer choices

Ray 2

Ray 3

Ray 4

None, ray 1 is not refracted

Answer 1

The ray that is part of the reflected ray must be ray 2 from the description in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The ray that is part of the reflected ray must be ray 2 from the description in the question.

What is reflection?

the term reflection has to do with the bouncing back of a wave. When waves hit a surface, they can bounce back in the opposite direction. The reflection of light leads to so many phenomena such as shadow.

In this case, the ray that is part of the reflected ray must be ray 2 from the description in the question.

So RAY 2
