How is light bent when light is going from a less dense medium to a denser medium? A) away from the normal line B) towards the normal line C) towards the reflecting surface
Added by Luisa T.
Step 1
This change in speed causes the light to change direction, or bend. The direction of the bend depends on the angle at which the light hits the boundary between the two media. Show more…

A ray of light is travelling in a direction perpendicular to the boundary of a parallel glass slab. The Ray of light - a.Does not get refracted b.Is refracted towards the normal c.Is refracted away from the normal d.Is refracted always along a straight path

When a ray of light passing through optically denser medium is incident on the surface of optically rarer medium at an angle greater than the critical angle is then a) the ray is refracted tangential to surface b) the ray is refracted at an angle less than 90° c) the ray is totally reflected in the denser medium d) the ray is partially reflected & partially refracted
