Question

1 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? a air is denser than glass. b water is denser than glass. c glass is denser than water. d air is denser than water.

Explanation:

When light travels from a less dense medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal, and the greater the difference in density, the more it bends. Light bends when moving from air to water and more when moving from water to glass. This implies that glass is denser than water (as the bending increases when moving from water to glass, showing a greater density difference than from air to water). Option A is wrong because air is less dense than glass. Option B is wrong as glass is denser than water. Option D is wrong as air is less dense than water.

Answer:

C. Glass is denser than water.
