Answer

No

Work Step by Step

No, the bending of light depends on the speed of the light in a medium. If the light enters a medium in which its speed of propagation is less than it was in the first medium, then the light bends towards the normal. If the light enters a medium in which its speed of propagation is greater than the first medium then it bends away from the normal.
