Solution
The correct option is C D
According to snell's law of refraction.
At upper interface.
As the ray passes from a less dense medium (air) to a more dense medium (glass), the ray bends toward the normal line.
At lower interface
As the ray exits the glass(denser medium) back into the air(rarer medium), it must bend away from the normal back to the original angle in the air.
