It REFRACTS light.
n=c/v
Where n is the refractive index, c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the substance.
the light rays hit the piece of glass and the surface of the glass causes it to refract
Clear glass does refract light when light passes from another medium like water to clear glass. But there is an exception. If the ray of light were to pass through water and hit the clear glass straight or at 90 Degrees to the surface, then clear glass does not refract the light.
glass of water
Yes, a telescope with incoming light passing through glass does refract. The glass lenses or mirrors in a telescope refract light as it passes through, focusing the light to form an image.
All see-through materials. Glass is well known. Water also refracts light. Diamonds refract light a lot. Even air refracts light a little.
When a ray of light is shone at a glass block, it will refract (bend) as it enters the glass due to the change in the speed of light in the material. The light will then travel through the glass block, possibly reflecting off the surfaces inside, and refract again as it exits the block.
It would cause light to refract differently because the angle at which the light hits the glass block would alter and there for the way the light refracts would also alter.
Glass: When light passes through glass, it refracts or bends. Water: Light refraction occurs as it moves from air into water or vice versa. Diamonds: The optical properties of diamonds cause them to refract light, resulting in their sparkling appearance.
sunglasses, microscope, hand lens/magnify glass
glass, windows really anything that you can see through.
Glass is transparent to visible light, so it does not absorb it. Instead, it allows light to pass through it. However, glass can reflect and refract light, affecting the way light passes through it.
