The picture above shows a source of light (the red dot), with thelight shining on the origin, which is marked by the position of thegreen dot. The horizontal axis is the interface separating onemedium from another. Some of the light reflects back into the firstmedium, and some refracts into the second medium.
Choose the three correct statements about this situation from thelist below.


A.The first medium (where the source is) has a higher index ofrefraction than the second medium.
B.The first medium has the same index of refraction as the secondmedium.
C.The first medium has a lower index of refraction than the secondmedium.
D.If the index of refraction of the second medium was increased,the angle of the reflected beam would change.
E.Changing the index of refraction of the second medium would haveno effect on the angle of the reflected beam.
F.If the light source was moved to the position of the purple dotin the second medium, and the light was incident on the originagain, the light would definitely experience total internalreflection.
G.If the light source was moved to the position of the purple dotin the second medium, and the light was incident on the originagain, some light would refract out into the upper medium,traveling toward the position of the red dot.
H.If the light source was moved to the position of the purple dotin the second medium, and the light was incident on the originagain, some light would refract out into the upper medium, but thelight would not travel toward the position of the red dot.
