Consider the following statements about light refraction:

1. When light passes from a rarer medium to a denser medium, it slows down and bends towards the normal.

2. When light passes from a denser medium to a rarer medium, it speeds up and bends away from the normal.

The correct statement/s is/are

Both statements accurately describe the fundamental laws of refraction. The direction in which light bends is determined by the change in its speed as it moves between materials of different optical densities.
