When light travels from a material with a lower index of refraction to a material with a higher index of refraction, the refracted beam will: a) shift away from the normal b) shift towards the normal

Shift towards the normal

Explanation:

Refraction is defined as the change in direction of light rays when passing through from a medium to another.

The ray can either pass through a less dense medium to a denser medium or from a denser medium to a less dense medium. The light ray bends towards or away from the normal ray(ray perpendicular to the plane) depending whether the travels from less dense to denser or otherwise.

Note that if a ray travels from less dense medium which have a low refractive index like air to a more dense medium like water which have a higher refractive index than air, the refracted ray tends to bend towards the normal, otherwise they bend away from the normal.
