Answer:

The light rays are bent and refraction will occur

Step-by-step explanation:

If light traveling through air is then passed through glass, the light rays will bent and refraction will occur.

The process of bending of light is when it goes from one medium to another is called the refraction of light.

The bending towards normal or away from normal depends on the optical activity of the medium. If the light ray moves from rarer medium to denser medium, the bending of light ray is towards the normal. While when it moves from denser to rarer medium, the bending of light is away from the normal.

Hence, the correct option is (b) " The light rays are bent and refraction will occur ".
