The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Concept of Refraction**: - Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another with a different density. In this case, we are considering light traveling from hot air (less dense) to cold air (more dense). 2. **Identifying the Mediums**: - Hot air is less dense compared to cold air. When light moves from a less dense medium (hot air) to a more dense medium (cold air), it will undergo refraction. 3. **Direction of Bending**: - According to the laws of refraction, when light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium, it bends towards the normal line. The normal line is an imaginary line perpendicular to the boundary between the two mediums. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, when light travels from hot air to cold air, it bends towards the normal. ### Final Answer: When light travels from hot air to cold air, it bends towards the normal. ---
