Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Light passing from water to air bends away from normal because the refractive index of water is greater than air. When the light travels from the greater refractive index to the smaller refractive index medium, it bends away from the normal.
The correct statement would be that if light passes from water to air, it bends away from the normal.
