Solution

Between glass and water, glass is a denser medium and water is a rarer medium.

Light bends when it passes from one medium to another medium due to change in its velocity. When passed through glass to water, the light after refraction travels faster in water and moves away from the normal.

Light travels faster in rarer density having medium. Hence, water is rarer medium and glass is denser medium between water and glass.
