The best completion of the statement "When light bends as it passes from one transparent object" is:
B. reflected
When light passes from one transparent object to another, it can bend or change direction. This phenomenon is known as refraction. Refraction occurs because light travels at different speeds through different materials. When light travels from air into a denser medium like glass or water, it slows down and changes direction. If the angle at which light hits the surface is less than a critical angle, the light will be refracted into the material. However, if the angle is greater, the light will be reflected back. This reflection of light at the interface of two materials is what causes the bending or redirection of light.
