Why does light refact when it passes from air into a glass slab?
When light passes into the slab it is changing medium from less to more dense. When that happens the light slows down and bends towards from the normal
How does light bend when it passes into a denser material?
The Ray of light bends toward the normal line. The reason is the light in the more dense region has slower speed. The relationship is given by the Law of Signs:sin(incident angel)/incident speed = sin(refracted angle)/dense speedSin(I)/vi = Sin(dense)/vd
Why the ray of light bends away normal or towards normal when it passes from one medium to another?
it deviates its path and meet where water and air surfaces meet.
What is it called when light bends as it passes through a material?
refracted light
What is caused when light bends as it passes through a material?
Light does not bend as it passes through a material. It bends when it passes from one material to another. This is called refraction. Light can also be dispersed, that is separated into its different colours, if it is refracted enough.
When light passes into more dense material it bends away from the normal?
When traveling through a dense material, light doesn't necessarily bend at all.The bend occurs at the boundary between two different materials, and whetherit bends away from the normal or toward it depends on both of their densities.

What happens when light passes through one medium to another?
the light bends
How can light be refracted at plane surface?
when light passes throught a plane where its bends
What happens to light when it passes thought a different medium?
It bends.
Is light bends when it passes through a convex lens?
No it do not bend.
What happens when light bends as it passes from one material to another?
it is refraction
When light passes through a transparent object it bends?
Stupid question.
