Want this question answered?
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 speedSin(I)/vi = Sin(dense)/vd
The light ray bends when it enters a medium with different density. It either bends towards or away from the normal depending on whether the medium is more dense or less dense.
It is an optical illusion due to the fact that water is more dense than air and so slows the speed of light. When light travels from a less dense to a more dense material, it slows down and 'bends'.
sound travels faster in dense material like metal...for example train tracks....we can hear the train sound if u put your ear on the tracks.. Sound also travels faster in water than it travels in air.
Refraction occurs when a wave bends as it crosses the boundary between different mediums (eg. air to glass). The wave bends because waves travel at different speeds in different mediums. When a wave enters a more dense medium (eg. air to glass), the wave slows down, and bends towards the 'normal'. When a wave enters a less dense medium (eg. glass to air), the wave speeds up, and bends away from the 'normal'. * The normal is an imaginary line which is perpendicular to where the light is entering the new medium.
refraction is when light travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium (or vice versa) and bends away from the normal (more to less) or towards the normal (less to more!!) hope i helped!!
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.

-- Its speed becomes less in the denser medium. -- Its wavelength becomes greater in the denser medium. -- If its direction is not perpendicular to the boundary between the media, then its path in the denser medium is closer to the perpendicular. (This is 'refraction'.)
Yes. The more dense the material the slower light travels. Light travels the slowest in diamond at about a third of its normal speed of 300 000 km /s in a vacuum.
If you meant optical density by the term 'denser ' Then the answer is.... The light bends towards normal when it travels from a optically less dense medium to optically dense medium. So angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

No. Speed depends on how dense the material is that the sound travels through- it travels faster in dense water than in light air. The VOLUME of the sound has no bearing on the speed that it travels.

When moving from a denser material to a less dense material.
