Physics
When a ray of light enters from a denser medium to a rarer medium then:
- the light ray bends towards the normal
- the speed of light increases
- the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
- its wavelength decreases.

Answer
the speed of light increases
Reason — The speed of light increases when it enters from a denser medium to a rarer medium. Lower density of the rarer medium causes less interaction between photons and particles. This reduces the scattering and results in a higher speed.
