A ray of light traveling in water enters obliquely into glass. Does the light ray bend
towards the normal or away from the normal? Why?

Answer:
it will bend towards the normal because whenever a ray of light enter's a higher refractive index surrounding......it bends towards normal....and vise-versa

The light ray bends towards the normal. When a light ray enters from an optically rarer medium (which has low refractive index) to an optically denser medium (which has a high refractive index), its speed slows down and bends towards the normal. As water is optically denser than air, a ray of light entering from air into water will bend towards the normal.
