What is the source of energy of acceleration of light travelling from denser to lighter medium?

08 August 2016 1 10K Report

on exit from denser medium light accelerates in lighter medium .

Have a look at Compton (where there is a colour change) and Thompson scattering, this may give you some more insight to augment Rami's answer.

A simple way to explain it is that light is absorbed on entry and passes it back on exit. So energy is conserved.
