  • A The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
  • B The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the reflecting surface all lie in the same plane.
  • C The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is constant.
  • D The refractive index of a medium is dependent on the wavelength of light.
Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

Answer: B) The incident ray, the refracted ray, and the normal to the refracting surface all lie in the same plane.

Explanation: The first law of refraction states that the incident ray, the refracted ray, and the normal to the refracting surface all lie in the same plane.
