    The ratio of sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant for a given colour and for the given pair of media. W
    Question

    The ratio of sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant for a given colour and for the given pair of media. Which law is this?

    A.

    Ohm's law

    B.

    Newton's law

    C.

    Gauss law

    D.

    Snell's Law

    Correct option is D


    The correct answer is (d) Snell's Law.
    · Snell's Law, also known as the Law of Refraction, states that the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant for a given colour of light and for the given pair of media.
    · Mathematically, it is expressed as sin i/sin r =constant.
    · This constant is known as the refractive index, which depends on the properties of the two media and the wavelength of the light.
    · Snell's Law is fundamental in the study of optics and is used to describe how light bends when it passes from one medium to another.

    Information Booster:
    · Ohm's Law: States that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. V=IR.
    · Newton's Law: Refers to Newton's laws of motion which describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and its motion in response to those forces.
    · Gauss's Law: One of Maxwell's equations, it states that the electric flux through any closed surface is proportional to the enclosed electric charge. ΦE=Q/ϵ0
