Question

question 16 of 28 what is most likely to happen when a light ray passes from air into water? a. the ray will be reflected. b. the ray will be absorbed. c. the ray will be diffracted. d. the ray will be refracted.

Explanation:

When light passes from air to water, it moves between media with different refractive indices, causing bending, which is refraction. Reflection (A) is bouncing off surfaces, absorption (B) is light being taken in, diffraction (C) is bending around obstacles. Refraction (D) is the correct behavior here.

Answer:

D. The ray will be refracted.
