प्रश्न
A ray of light passes from air into a block of glass. Does it bend towards the normal or away from it?

उत्तर
We know that air is a rarer medium and glass is a denser medium. When a ray of light goes from a rarer medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal. So, the light ray will bend towards the normal in the given case.
