d. Slows down because water is more dense than air
As the light wave travels from the air into water, it slows down due to the change in medium density. Water is more dense than air, which causes the light wave to slow down as it enters the water. This change in speed can cause the light wave to bend or refract as it passes through the boundary between air and water.
Describe how a light wave changes as it travels from the air into water? A. Speeds up because water is less dense than air b. Slows down because water is less dense than air c. Speeds up because water is more dense than air d. Slows down because water is more dense than air
