State whether the following statements are true or false. Rewrite the false statements correctly.
- Light travels at a lower speed in water than in air.
- Light travels in a straight line -path while passing through different media.
- The angle formed between the normal and the refracted ray is known as the angle of fraction.
- At the point of incidence, a line drawn at right angles to the surface, separating the two media, is called the normal.
