Question

When a beam of light in air is incident at an angle of incidence θ_i < 90° on a piece of glass, the angle of refraction is larger than the angle of incidence.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When light passes from a less dense medium (air) to a denser medium (glass), it slows down and bends towards the normal, resulting in an angle of refraction that is smaller than the angle of incidence.
