Explanation / Answer

Ans: Bent towards the normal.

Refractive index of glass is higher than that of air. It is the rule of refraction that when a ray moves from rarer to denser medium (that is, low refractive index to high refractive index), it bends towards the normal and when it moves from denser to rarer medium it bends away from the normal.
