Solution

The correct option is B Any Medium
Correct answer (c)
Refraction of light can take place at boundary of any medium. The refraction of light when it passes from a fast medium to a slow medium bends the light ray toward the normal to the boundary between the two media. Snell's law can be derived from Fermat's Principle or from the Fresnel Equations
