Solution
The correct option is C Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false. A light ray bends towards the normal when the light travels from rarer medium to denser medium and bends away from the normal when the light ray travels from denser medium to rarer medium. Whenever the light undergoes refraction, the speed of the light changes as it interacts with the medium.
