Solution

The correct option is A

If light goes from medium A to medium B, it will bend towards the normal


sin isin r=v1v2
Hence, if the value is greater than 1, it implies
v1>v2.
So, the medium the light is entering into has a lower velocity of light in it. So, the ray will bend towards the normal.
