A light ray entering glass from water,

It goes away from the normal
It bends towards the normal
It travels straight without bending
It returns back into water

Solution

The correct option is B
It bends towards the normal

The refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light traveling in a vacuum with the speed of light traveling in the medium.
When light travels from a rarer to denser medium the light tends to bend towards the normal.
When light travels from a denser to a rarer medium the light tends to bend away from the normal.
The glass is denser than water.
So the light will bend towards normal.
