What happens when light passes from air into water?

• It is transmitted in a straight line until it hits the water; then the light bends at an angle.

• It is transmitted in a straight line until it hits the water; then the light curves into the water.

• It is transmitted in a straight line until it hits the water; then the light spirals down into the water.

• It is transmitted in a straight line through the air into the water.

What happens when light passes from air into glass?

• It is transmitted in a straight line through the air into the glass.

• It is transmitted in a straight line until it hits the glass; then the light spirals down into the water.

• It is transmitted in a straight line until it hits the glass; then the light curves.
