Q.

A beam of light propagating in medium A with index of refraction n (A) passes across an interface into medium B with index of refraction n (B). The angle of incidence is greater than the anlgle of refraction; v(A) and v(B) denote the speed of light in A and B. Then which of the following is true?

given that angle of incidence is greater than angle of refraction it means that the light ray is going from rarer medium to denser medium hence

VA>VB and refractive index n=V0V; n1V hence VA>VB  and nA<nB
