How does the direction of the ray of light change when it travels directly from denser medium to optically rarer medium?

Solution

Refraction is the process of bending of light when passing from one medium to another medium.
When the Ray of light falls normally on the surface of the optical medium, traveling from optically denser,
The refracted ray bends to move away from the normal as shown in figure below.
