In 1928, the famous Indian scientist Sir Chandrashekhar Venkat Raman, or Sir C.V. Raman, passing monochromatic visible light rays through various liquids (e.g., benzene, toluene, etc.), observed that the incident
We know that when a light ray is refracted from a denser medium to a thinner medium, the refracted ray moves away from the perpendicular. As a result, the angle
Refraction and reflection are two basic properties of light. Clear images can be seen when light bounces off a surface, like in mirrors, a phenomenon known as reflection. On the
What is Refraction of Light? What is Refraction of Light: If light passes from one medium to another through the interface between two media, then, in general, the direction of
Reflection of Light The object that emits light is called a light source. Light sources can be of two types—a material that emits light by itself is called a self-emitting
