Incident ray, normal at the point of incidence and refracted ray are always
Question

Incident ray, normal at the point of incidence and refracted ray are always

A.

mutually perpendicular

B.

inclined at acute angles

C.

parallel

D.

coplanar

Correct option is D

Correct Answer: D. Coplanar

Information Booster
  • According to the laws of refraction (Snell’s Law), the incident ray, normal at the point of incidence, and the refracted ray all lie in the same plane.

  • This plane is called the plane of incidence.

  • Being coplanar means they all lie on one flat surface or geometric plane.

Additional Information
  • They are not necessarily perpendicular (Option A) or parallel (Option C).

  • Their angles can be acute or obtuse, depending on the media (Option B is incorrect as a general rule).

  • This fundamental principle is true for both reflection and refraction.
