In order for a fish to see a bug just above the surface of the water, the image of the bug travels in the form of light waves from the insect through the air and crosses into the water until it reaches the fishes' eye. Which statement is true regarding the light wave as it travels?

Question 7 options:

a.The light waves will bounce off the surface of the water and the fish will see it.


b.The light waves will bend as they hit the water and slow down because water is a more dense medium than air.


c.The light waves will travel straight from the bug to the fishes' eye because that is the most direct path.


d.The light waves will travel straight from the bug to the fishes' eye because there is no change in medium.

b.The light waves will bend as they hit the water and slow down because water is a more dense medium than air.

The bending of light is refraction, and this occurs because there is a change in medium that the light travels through. Water is optically denser than air. Hence, when light enters water, it is refracted closer to the normal.
