Answer:
When a ray of light travels from a rarer medium to a denser medium (air into glass), its speed decreases and it bends towards the normal.

Answer:
The ray of light bends towards the normal when it passes from a rarer medium to a denser medium and away from the normal when it passes from the denser medium to the rarer medium. If a ray of light travels normally ( i = 0), it goes straight.
Explanation:
When light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium, it bends away from the normal, as illustrated to the left. This behavior follows from Snell's Law. As you saw before, the larger angle must be in the medium having the lower index of refraction.
