Question

why does a ray of light Bend towards the base when it passes through a glass prism?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A ray of light bends towards the base when passing through a glass prism as the material of prism is denser. Since the prism material is denser, the velocity of the light ray is lower in the prism relative to the air, and therefore the light ray bends towards the normal, which means it bends towards the base.

Answer 2

Answer:

Why does a ray of light while passing through a prism, bend towards its base? Solution : When a ray of light passes through a prism, it under goes refraction twice. ... Second time from denser to rarer medium, i.e., glass to air, it bends from the normal, i.e., towards the base of the prism
