Refraction from denser to rarer medium bends light away from the normal Steps:

• Ray originates in water (denser, n ≈ 1.33) incident on water-air interface (air rarer, n ≈ 1).
• Since i < c (≈ 48°), total internal reflection does not occur; ray refracts into air.
• Apply Snell's law: n_water sin i = n_air sin r.
• n_water > n_air implies sin r = (n_water / n_air) sin i > sin i, so r > i.

Why B is correct:

• Snell's law requires r > i when light travels from denser to rarer medium, bending away from normal.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: Reflection angle equals i (law of reflection), not c; ray also refracts since i < c.
• C: r is larger than i, not smaller (opposite of denser-to-rarer bending).
• D: Duplicate of B; no unique distinction.

Final answer: B
