A ray of white light is incident on a spherical water drop whose center is $\mathrm{C}$ as shown below. When observed from the opposite side, the emergent light $-$ Figure

  • Correct answer
    A
    Will be white and will emerge without deviating
  • B
    Will be internally reflected
  • C
    Will split into different colors such that the angles of deviation will be different for all colors
  • D
    Will split into different colors such that the angles of deviation will be the same for all colors

Solution

Perpendicular incidence so no deviation.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
