The Ray of light bends toward the normal line. The reason is the light in the more dense region has slower speed. The relationship is given by the Law of Signs:
sin(incident angel)/incident speed = sin(refracted angle)/dense speed
Sin(I)/vi = Sin(dense)/vd

∙ 12y agoWhen light passes through a optically less dense medium,it gets refracted. The speed of light decreases in all mediums other than air/vaccum. For example, when put a pencil or a straw into a glass of water we see that the object looks bent

∙ 11y agoWhen light enters the denser medium the speed of light decreases, that's why when a beam of light passes through glass, it bends towards
the normal.

What happens when light goes from water to air?
light rays bend away from normal as it passes from denser water to rarer air
What is caused when light bends as it passes through a material?
Light does not bend as it passes through a material. It bends when it passes from one material to another. This is called refraction. Light can also be dispersed, that is separated into its different colours, if it is refracted enough.
How do objects bend light?
The object refracts the light, because of the bending of light or waves as it passes from the material to another.
In which situation would the angle of refraction bend toward the normal?
When moving from a denser material to a less dense material.
Why the ray of light does not bend when it passes perpendicularly from rarer medium to denser medium?
Since the angle of incidence is 0, there is no chance of refraction and so the angle of refraction too becomes 0.

When light passes into more dense material it bends away from the normal?
When traveling through a dense material, light doesn't necessarily bend at all.The bend occurs at the boundary between two different materials, and whetherit bends away from the normal or toward it depends on both of their densities.

Does light bend as it passes through materials?
Light is affected by the media that it travels through. Even air will bend light. Glass and water certainly bend light.
What happens when light passes through lens?
The light refracts or bend .
How does material bend light?
hello
Is light bends when it passes through a convex lens?
No it do not bend.
What happens when light is refracted through water from air?
The light will bend as it passes through.
What does light bend when it passes from air into glass?
refraction
