This diagram illustrates that...

more dense media cause light to get slower and bend towards the normal.

more dense media cause light to get faster and bend towards the normal.

more dense media cause light to get slower and bend away from the normal.

more dense media cause light to get faster and bend away from the normal.

When does the light is refracted?

When light travels in two different mediums

When light travels in a straight line

When light cannot pass through an opaque object

What is the conclusion from your observation in this picture?

Light travels in a straight line

Light can pass through a transparent material

What does happen with the light in denser medium?

Light bends TOWARDS the normal.

Light bends AWAY FROM the normal.

Total internal refraction can occur when light attempts to move from a

more to less optical dense medium

less to more optical dense medium
