I would like to tell @swatisharma and also give answer to the question.

Refraction is a phenomenon in which light when travels from a rarer to dense or denser to rarer medium, slightly changes it direction or you can say, bends.

While comparing water and kerosene, water is a denser medium and in atmosphere air is rarer.

So, light will bend more through Water and less through Kerosene.

If you pass a light ray at an angle through water, then it will bend more than if you pass the same kind of light ray at the same angle being bended less.


I hope you like this explanation and you too @swatisharma.

Mark it as Brianliest answer...

keroscene

Explanation:

refractive index of keroscene is 1.44 and refractive index of water is 1.33. clearly keroscene has higher refractive index than water. higher refractive index means that keroscene is optically denser than water. so light bends more in optically more denser medium which is keroscene
