What happens to a ray of light that slows down when it hits a new medium at an angle? a. it dims. b. it brightens. c. it bends. d. it is absorbed.

C. It bends.

Explanation:

When the ray of light passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium , then the change in the direction of light rays occurs which is known as refraction.

Therefore, we can say that when  a ray of light that slows down when it hits a new medium at an angle, then it bends (change in direction) either towards or away the normal ray depends upon the density of the medium from which it travels.

are there any answer choices

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
