A field crossing from a dielectric of low permittivity into one of high permittivity is bent

  • A.through ninety degrees
  • B.away from the normal
  • C.toward the normal
  • D.not at all

Answer: B

The tangential field is preserved while the normal field falls in the denser medium, so the resultant tilts further from the normal. The relation \( \tan\theta_1/\tan\theta_2 = \epsilon_1/\epsilon_2 \) is the electrostatic analogue of Snell's law.
