which phenomenon occurs when light falls on

(a) Highly polished surface

(b) A transparent medium?

Academic Physics NCERT Class 10

a) Highly polished surface- It reflects back from the surface

(b) A transparent medium- it passes through the medium . Refraction occurs at the interface.

State Snell's law of refraction of light. Write an expression to relate refractive index of a medium with speed to light in vacuum.The refractive index of a medium 'a' with respect to medium 'b' is 2/3 and the refractive index of medium 'b' with respect to medium 'c' is 4/3. Find the refractive index of medium 'c' with respect to medium 'a'.
