Question

ray of light can bend in any direction .is it true or false​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When a ray of light passes from a less dense material (eg air) into a denser material (eg glass or water) it is bent away from the surface between the two materials. ... However, if the ray of light hits the surface at right angles (ie at 90°) to the surface, the ray is not bent.

Answer 2

False. A ray of light cannot bend in any direction

• The bending of a light wave's path as it passes through one medium and into another is known as refraction
• The refraction happens at the barrier and is produced by a change in the light wave's speed when it crosses the boundary
• The tendency of a beam of light to bend in one direction or the other is determined by whether the light wave accelerates or slows as it approaches the barrier
• The optical density of the medium through which a light wave travels determines its speed
• Thus, a ray of light cannot bend in any direction, but the bending or refraction depends on whether the light wave is traveling from a denser (slow) medium to a less dense (fast) medium or from a less dense medium to a more dense medium
