Cleo stated that light travels through air in straight paths, and when it moves from air to water, light changes direction, speeds up, and bends toward the normal.

Which statement best describes Cleo’s mistake?

Light travels through air and water in angled, scattered paths.
Light does not change direction when it moves from air into water.
Light slows down when it moves from air into water.
Light bends away from the normal when it moves from air into water.

Answer:

Light slows down when it moves from air into water.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is the property of light that travels faster in a less dense medium.

In a more dense medium, the speed of the light slows down and bends towards the normal.

The air is less dense medium and water is a more dense medium.

When light passes from air to water, the light bends.

This is known as the refraction of light.
