ANSWER: A. Towards the normal

This is a basic conceptual physics question expected to be seen in the OAT. Since light is going from a lower index of refraction (n) to a higher index of refraction, it will always bends towards the normal.

The field of optometry deals with the health of the eye. Optometrists are the primary eye care providers. Their roles involve correcting refractive errors, diagnosing and treating ocular disease.
