The statement is true

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

Light bends when it changes the medium because the dielectric permittivity of the material makes the path more hard to penetrate

True or False

Solution

The given statement is true as it is the dielectric permittivity of the material which does not allow light to pass through it easily.

The medium decrease the amplitude of light and hence induces change in direction without altering its velocity or frequency.
