How can we make a ray of light bend toward the normal?

Question

A. We can make it travel from air to glass
B. We can. make it from glass into air
C. We can make it travel through glass
D. We can make it through water

Answer 1

A ray of light will bend toward the normal when it travels from a medium with a lower refractive index to a medium with a higher refractive index. This bending occurs because light travels slower in denser media.

In the options provided:

A. We can make it travel from air to glass. - This is correct. When light travels from air (a medium with a lower refractive index) into glass (a medium with a higher refractive index), it bends toward the normal.

B. We can make it go from glass into air. - This is incorrect
