To find:
Is the given statement true or false?
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of the deviation or the bending of a light when it passes from one object to another depends on the index of refraction of the object. The waves that enter a medium with a lower refractive index will bend towards the normal.
But the index of refraction is not the measure of the ability of the substance to bend the light. It is the ratio of the speed of light in the vacuum to that in the medium.
Final answer:
Thus the given statement is false.
