A student observes that a ray of light bends where it passes from glass into water. What best explains this phenomenon? O The properties of a wave change as it travels from one medium into another. O The energy of a liquid is greater than that of a solid and increases the amount of light in it. O The mass of a ray of light varies in proportion with the density of its surroundings. O A wave consumes energy in a solid but produces energy in a liquid.​

Answer:

The correct answer is - The properties of a wave change as it travels from one medium into another.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bending of the light from passing through the air into the liquid is called the refraction of the light due to change its direction as it slows down as water is more denser than air with a higher refractive index. They slow and the wavelength decreases but frequency remain same
