Question

A ray of light travelling in air enter oblique into water.Does the light ray bend towards the normal or away from the normal .why ​

Answer 1

Answer:

it bends towards the normal

Explanation:

it is moving from less dense medium to more dense medium this it slows down and bends towards the normal

Answer 2

Explanation:

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