Question

light incident on a glass sheet is partly reflected and partly refracted. how is the reflected ray different from the refracted ray?

Answer 1

Do you know what happens to light when it enters glass from air? That would be one way about thinking about thge differences between the reflected and refracted rays.

Answer 2

The reflected and and refracted rays are polarized and their polarization is perpendicular to each other. The reflected ray is polarized parallel to the surface and refracted ray, perpendicular to the surface.

Answer 3

@ShailKumar, the idea is to help the person learn, not to just give away answers.
