Please help! Will give brainliest!

Look at the diagram below.

Ray 1 from the Sun moves through air and falls on the surface of a lake.
Ray 2 is a ray which travels from the surface of the lake at the point
Ray 1 strikes the lake, and moves towards air.
Ray 1 and Ray 2 make the same angle with the surface of the lake.
Ray 1 bends towards the vertical when it enters the lake as Ray 3

Which statement is correct about Ray 1?

A. A part of it is reflected as Ray 2.

B. A part of it is reflected as Ray 3.

C. Some of it is absorbed as Ray 2.

D. Some of it is absorbed as Ray 3.

Answer 1

c beacuse i had the same question and i got it right

Answer 2

When a Ray of light is incident on a transparent surface, some part is reflected while some is refracted as seen in a part of Ray 1 which is reflected as Ray 2.

What is reflection and refraction of light rays?

Reflection of light rays refers to the bouncing back of light rays when they hit a reflecting surface.

Refraction of light rays is the bending of light rays as they travel between two media of different densities

The ray of light from the sun hits the water surface and some it reflects off the water surface while some enters the water and is refracted.

From the diagram;

• Ray 1 is the incident ray from the Sun,
• Ray 2 is the reflected ray and
• Ray 3 is the refracted ray.

Therefore, a part of Ray 1 is reflected as Ray 2.
