if the ray of light enters the water from air,refraction takes place and the ray of light will bend towards the normal due to higher optical density.

The path of a light ray from glass into water?
Depends on the angle the light ray hits the water.
How do you explain that the pencil appears broken in the glass of water?
A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air. This is called "refraction".A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air.

What happen to light passes from air to water?
As a ray of light travels from the air to water, refraction occurs. This is because the light has entered a medium where its speed is different. The light is bent towards the normal as the edge of the ray that first touches the water is slowed. Picture yourself driving a car when you drive through a puddle on the right edge of the road. The right tire enters the puddle and, since it can't travel as swiftly in water, it slows, causing the car to turn slightly to the right.
What happened to light ray as they hit a rough surface?
The light is scattered. Some of the light may be absorbed, depending on the surface.
What 2 things happened when the light ray when you moved the laser to the left and to the right?

A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water The angle that the incoming light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of?
incident
A ray of light traveling from air to water will bend which direction?
The ray will bend towards the normal.
As a ray of light passes from air into glass the angle it makes with the surface normal will?
REFLECTION... (this is the right answer for: A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water. The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of? )if not incident ray.
A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water Part of the light will be reflected and part of the ray will enter the water The angle that is made by the part of the ray that enters the water with?
incident
Why do objects look distorted under water?
A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air. This is called "Refraction".A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air. This is called "Refraction".A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air. This is called "Refraction".A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air. This is called "Refraction".
How does the direction of a ray of light change as it passes from air into water?
When a ray of light travels it is in a wave and when it enters from air to water it becomes more dense and harder to move so the waves are refracted.
What is the change of path of a light ray from glass into water?
Index of retraction
