Question
Consider the following statements and consider which are true and which are false. (If, for example, 'B' is true and the rest are false then answer 'FTFFF' - No spaces, no commas.) A)When light enters a medium with a lower index of refraction, the ray is bent closer to the line normal to the boundary. B)White light that is reflected from some ordinary surface will not be separated into a visible spectrum. C)Total internal reflection is possible when light approaches (with sufficiently large angle of incidence) a boundary with a different medium that has a lower index of refraction. D)If one stands by a swimming pool, a person standing in the pool will seem to have short legs. E)Light travels slower in glass than it does in a vacuum.
