Question

A beam of light bends when it passes from air into water, and then bends even more when it passes from water into glass. What can you conclude from this fact?

Select one:

a.
air is denser than water


b.
water is denser than glass


c.
air is denser than glass


d.
glass is denser than water

Answer 1

Glass is denser than water

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the speed of light in glass is less than that of water, meaning that light moves slower in glass. This is because glass has a higher refractive index than water. So light is refracted at a greater angle.
