Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\mathtt\colorbox{lime}{{\color{white}{ANSWER࿐}}}$

Explanation:

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

A ray of light bends towards the normal when passed into a glass prism from air due to refraction.

As the light ray is going from air ( rarer medium )

to glass ( denser medium) it bends towards the normal.

The light ray bends towards the normal due to the change in refractive index of the glass as compared to air.
