Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
We know that “a light ray travelling from an optically denser to a rarer medium, bends away from the normal. When the ray travels from an optically rarer to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal.” For example, a light ray entering the water from the air will bend toward the normal because water is optically denser than air.
