O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/11/O/N/24

Explanation
Refraction from denser to rarer medium Steps:
- Light travels from glass (higher refractive index) to air (lower refractive index).
- Apply Snell's law: n_glass sin θ_i = n_air sin θ_r, where n_glass > n_air.
- Thus, θ_r > θ_i, so the ray bends away from the normal.
- Select the arrow showing deviation away from the normal in air.
Why D is correct:
- Snell's law dictates bending away from the normal when entering a rarer medium, as shown in D.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Bends toward normal, incorrect for rarer medium.
- B: No bending, ignores refraction.
- C: Bends back, depicts reflection instead.
Final answer: D
