A ray diagram shows the ray passing from medium 1 to medium 2. After passing into medium 2, the ray bends away from the normal.
What does this ray diagram illustrate?
reflection with scattering in a medium
reflection without scattering in a medium
refraction with medium 1 denser than medium 2
refraction with medium 1 less dense than medium 2

Refraction with medium 1 denser than medium 2.
Explanation: Bending away from the normal means the refracted angle is larger than the incident angle (speed increases), so medium 2 has a lower optical density (smaller refractive index) than medium 1.
