How does light behave as it enters these mediums?

• continue its path as straight line.
• bends toward the normal
• bends away from the normal
• reflects

Absolute refractive index of any medium is always _______.

According to the Law of reflection, a light ray striking a mirror

• continues moving through the mirror in the same direction
• moves into the mirror at a slightly different angle
• bounces off the mirror toward the direction it came from
• bounces off the mirror at the same angle it hits.
