What happens when a light ray travels through air into glass?
Light speed slows down in the glass.
When a ray of light from air enters to glass what happens to velocity?
it decreases
How do you explain that the pencil appears broken in the glass of water?
A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air. This is called "refraction".A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air.

As a ray of light passes from air into glass the angle it makes with the surface normal will?
REFLECTION... (this is the right answer for: A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water. The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of? )if not incident ray.
What happens to a ray of light as it enters and leaves a glass block?
The ray of light gets refracted. Depending on the medium it is entering, it will bend either to or away from the normal. For example, if it is entering a glass block from air, it will bend towards the normal, and if it leaves a glass block and enters air it will bend away from the normal. The amount the ray bends depends on the angle of incidences and the refractive indices of the two mediums, and are governed by Snell's Law.
What happens when a light ray travels through air into glass?
Light speed slows down in the glass.
What is the ray diagram of light refraction in air and glass?
A prism
When a ray of light from air enters to glass what happens to wavelength?
It will not change. Glass slows light but does not change it frequency.
What is emergent ray in refraction of light?
The emergent ray is the ray of light which passes through a denser medium(glass) to a rarer medium(air).
When a ray of light from air enters to glass what happens to velocity?
it decreases
What is the change of path of a light ray from air into glass?
it refracts closer to the medium
In which material does a light ray entering from air slow down more?
Glass, since glass is a very dense material it will take a while for the light to enter.

What is it called when light travels from air to glass?
When light travels from air to glass it is called refraction. As it travels, the light ray slows down and bends towards the normal. The normal is a line drawn at right angles to the boundary of the medium.
What does speed change when a ray of light leaves air and enters a piece of glass?
The speed of light slows down ... in general, the denser the material, the lower the speed of light. (For example : air to water to glass.) The maximum speed is in a vacuum.
