Light will undergo refraction, and the light rays will bend towards the normal, because it is entering an optically denser medium. In this case, the angle of refraction will be smaller than the angle of incidence. In addition, the speed of light will be reduced when travelling in water.
The light ray will change its direction and bend towards the normal as it enters the water due to a decrease in the speed of light. This is known as refraction.
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.
When a ray of light enters a prism from glass to air, it bends away from the normal. This is because light travels faster in air than in glass, causing the light ray to refract away from the normal as it exits the prism.
The light ray will bend towards the normal (perpendicular line to the surface of the prism) as it enters the glass prism. This is due to the change in speed of light as it transitions from air to glass, causing refraction.
The velocity of light decreases when it enters glass due to its higher optical density compared to air. This causes the light ray to bend towards the normal line at the boundary between air and glass.
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 light ray will change its direction and bend towards the normal as it enters the water due to a decrease in the speed of light. This is known as refraction.
When it enters a medium with a higher index of refraction (i.e. air --> water)

The velocity of light decreases when it enters glass due to its higher optical density compared to air. This causes the light ray to bend towards the normal line at the boundary between air and glass.
When light enters or exits water into air at an angle of 15 degrees with the normal, the light ray will refract, or bend, away from the normal. This is because water is optically denser than air, causing the light to bend towards the less dense medium.
The speed of light though substances is slower than the speed of light in a vacuum. As the light passes from air to water it slows and the ray's path is translated towards the normal to the air/water interface slightly.
When light rays pass from air to water, they undergo refraction, which is the bending of light due to the change in speed as it moves from one medium to another. The light rays will bend towards the normal (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface of the water) as they enter the water, causing them to change direction.
A light ray refracts as it enters a piece of glass because the speed of light changes as it moves from one medium (air) to another (glass), causing it to bend. This change in speed is due to the difference in the optical density of air and glass, which causes the light ray to change direction at the boundary between the two mediums.
The property of light illustrated is refraction. When light travels from air to water (or any other medium with a different optical density), its speed changes, causing the light ray to bend at the boundary between the two mediums.
