  1. Question 1

    Q1. When light passes from air into glass, it bends towards the normal. This phenomenon is called:

    • A) Reflection
    • B) Diffraction
    • C) Refraction
    • D) Dispersion

    Answer: Refraction

    Explanation: Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another with a different optical density, causing a change in speed and therefore a change in direction. When light enters glass from air, it slows down and bends toward the normal because glass has a higher refractive index than air.
