Answer:
Refraction is the bending of light rays after entering a medium where its speed is different. Due to refraction of light, when a ray of light passes from a rarer medium to a denser medium, bends towards the normal to the boundary between the two media. The amount of bending depends on the indices of refraction of the two media.
Hence, when a ray of light from air enters a denser medium, it bends towards the normal.
