Solution
(i) When a ray of light enters from air (rarer medium) into water (denser medium), the ray of light bends towards the normal.
(ii) When a ray of light enters from water (denser medium) into air (rarer medium), the ray of light bends away from the normal.
Note: The dotted line shows the undeviated path of light, in case if the light would not have undergone refraction.
