The angle of deviation (δ) for light rays passing from a rarer to a denser medium is given by:
δ = i−r
Where:
- i is the angle of incidence,
- r is the angle of refraction.
OR
Green leaves appear green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs most of the blue and red wavelengths of light and reflects the green wavelength. Since green light is reflected, it is the colour we see.
