When light goes from a less dense to denser medium (e.g., air to water), it bends:
AAway from normal
BToward normal
CStays straight
DReverses direction
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Toward normal
When entering denser medium, speed decreases, ray bends toward normal.
From denser to less dense, ray bends away from normal.
