I think you mean that the beam will be refracted.

Explanation:

In passing from a medium of refractive index #n_1# to a different medium of refractive index #n_2# (with #n_1!=n_2#) the beam will be bent due to the effect called Refraction.
This effect can be descripted using Snell's Law. Have a look:
