Question

What happens in a denser medium?

Answer 1

Answer:

When light enters from denser medium, the light bends away from the normal.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey mate

Explanation:

A medium in which the speed of light is more is known as Optically Rarer medium .

Air is optically rarer medium as compared to glass and water.

A medium in which speed of light is less is known as optically denser medium.

glass is optically denser medium as compared to air.

The refractive index of a medium gives an indication of light bending ability of that medium.

For example:

Refractive index of glass is greater than the refractive index of water . Hence light bends more in glass than in water.

If Refractive index is more bending of light is more and speed of light will be less.
