The bending of light when it passes from rarer medium to denser medium is called refraction.

Hope it helps u

Ray diagram for a light ray travelling from denser medium to rarer medium:

  • When a light ray travels from one medium to another, it appears to bend at the interface.
  • This phenomenon is called as refraction.
  • When a ray of light travels from denser medium to rarer medium, the velocity of light increases.
  • This causes the light ray to bend away from the normal.
  • In this case, the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence(i<r).
