प्रश्न
A ray of light goes from water into air. Will it bend towards the normal or away from the normal?

उत्तर
When a ray of light travels from a denser medium (water) to a rarer medium (air), it bends away from the normal. Therefore, the ray of light will bend away from the normal in the given case.
