Class 10
Physics :-NCERT Solution - Light Reflection and Refraction

Question 1:

A ray of light travelling in air enters obliquely into water. Does the light ray bend towards the normal or away from the normal? Why?


Answer:

The light ray bends towards the normal.

When a ray of light travels from an optically rarer medium to an optically denser medium, it gets bent towards the normal. Since water is optically denser than air, a ray of light travelling from air into the water will bend towards the normal.
