Why does the refracted ray move towards the normal when it moves from rarer to denser?

The speed of the ray is slower in the denser material. the denser material encounters more interference (time) to travel the same distance.

When a waves moves from a less dense medium to a denser one most of the wave energy is refracted?
reflected
When light moves from glass into air at an angle is the light refracted toward or away from the normal?
it bends
What is refracted light?
The refraction of light is the change in direction of a light ray when it crosses a boundary between two transparent substances. Refraction of light is the change in direction of a light ray due to a change in its speed as it goes from one medium to another.The speed and wavelength of a light ray change when this occurs, but the frequency remains the same.When light travels from denser medium to rarer medium it moves away from the normal [line at right angles to the boundary] and when light travels from rarer to denser it moves towards the normal.

Do lenses refract light?
when light falls from air on lens it undergoes refraction as lens is denser than air light on entering lens move towards normal and is bent and while leaving moves away from normal
What type of air mass is denser?
The cold air moves under the warm air because the former is denser. So Warm air is denser.
Is it true that sound moves faster in air that is 90 degrees Fahrenheit than in air that is 32 degrees Fahrenheit?
No. Sound moves faster in a denser medium and the colder the air is the denser it is.
