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

Light will bend toward the normal, or perpendicular line, when passing from a less dense to a denser material. This is known as refraction.
When light passes through dense materials, such as glass or water, it is slowed down due to the interactions with the atoms in the material. This slowing down causes the light to bend or refract as it passes through the material. The denser the material, the more the light is slowed down and bent.
The density of matter affects the propagation of light waves by changing the speed at which light travels through the material. Light travels slower in denser materials, causing it to bend or refract as it passes from one medium to another.
Light slows down when it enters a denser material, causing it to change direction, or bend. This change in speed is due to the change in the medium's refractive index, which affects the light's velocity.
Light would bend the least in a material with a low refractive index, such as air or a vacuum. This is because the speed of light is fastest in these materials, causing minimal deviation as it passes through.

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.

Objects can bend light through a process called refraction, where light changes speed as it passes through different mediums. This change in speed causes the light to bend. Additionally, the shape and density of an object can also affect how light is bent as it passes through or around the object.
A concave lens or a denser medium bend light inward. This bending effect is known as refraction and is caused by the change in speed of light as it passes through different mediums.
When light passes through a denser medium, its speed decreases, causing it to bend (refract) towards the normal line of the medium. This change in direction is due to the change in the speed of light as it moves from one medium to another.
No, when light passes into a more dense material, it bends towards the normal (perpendicular line). This phenomenon is known as refraction and occurs due to the change in speed of light as it travels from one medium to another.
When light is directed at a transparent material, such as glass or water, it passes through the material with little to no obstruction. The material may refract or bend the light, but it generally allows the light to transmit through it, making the material appear clear or see-through.
When light bends as it passes through a material, it is called refraction. Refraction occurs because the speed of light changes as it moves from one medium to another, causing the light rays to change direction. This can lead to phenomena such as the bending of a straw in a glass of water or the formation of rainbows in the sky.
When light passes perpendicularly from a rarer medium to a denser medium, there is no change in the speed of light. Since refraction occurs due to the change in speed, the absence of speed change in this case results in no bending of the light ray.
