Answer:
When a ray of light travels from air into water obliquely, it bends towards the normal. This is because water is optically denser than air. On entering water, speed of light decreases and the light bends towards normal.

Answer:
Since water is optically denser than air, a ray of light entering from air into the water will bend towards the normal. ... The light ray will bend towards the normal because air is a rarer medium and water is a denser medium.
