A beam of visible light is passed through a plexiglass container filled with water. If a beam of light comes in at a slight angle, describe the change in the path of the beam of light as it passes through the container, moving in from one side and then out the other.

A) The beam of light will bend twice: entering and leaving the container.

B) The beam of light will bend three times: small angle of refraction through container wall; larger angle of refraction through water; small angle passing out of a container.

C) The beam of light will refract four times; largest entering container; smaller angles of refraction moving through water, through container wall again, and finally into the air on the outside.

D) The beam of light will bend three times: large angle of refraction through container wall; smaller angle of refraction through water; greater angle passing out of a container.
