How does light bend when sent through acrylic in relation to the normal?

We can probably look up the index of refraction for acrylic somewhere. But in order to answer the
question, we'd still have to know what medium the light is coming out of when it hits the acrylic.
All the action takes place at the interface, and we have to know the conditions on both sides.

What are neon acrylic sheets?
they are sheets of acrylic that glow softly in daylight and normal light but in UV light they glow very brightly and come in lots of different colours
How fast will light travel through acrylic index of refraction of 1.49?
3.00 x 108/ 1.49 = 2.0134 x 108 m/s Therefore light will travel through acrylic at 2.01 x 108 m/s.
Does the acrylic has the same property as glass letting pass-through the infrared rays but not the ultra violet rays?
In short, your initial assumptions are flawed. Every different chemical compound will allow light of some wavelengths to pass through, and will absorb some other wavelengths. In the case of glass and many acrylic polymers, they both appear to be clear because most of the light in the visible spectrum passes through. It is not generally true that glass allows infrared light to pass through, nor is it generally true that acrylic polymers will allow ultraviolet light to pass through. The infrared light absorbed by both acrylic and glass heats up the material by causing bending, stretching, and twisting of mmolecular bonds. The ultraviolet light absorbed by these materials generally causes ionization.
What did you observe with the indices of refraction of the colors of light in the acrylic prism?

How fast does light travel through acrylic?
it travels faster in water because it is less optically dense then acrylic

When light waves are travelling through a slower medium they move which way towards the normal?

How do you make an acrylic dome?

What happens when a light goes through a prism?
when normal white light is passed through a prism, it is split up into all the rainbow colors.
Can light exceed its normal speed while refracting?
If you mean "normal speed" to be the speed at which light travels in a vacuum, then no. Anything that differs from light moving through a vacuum slows the light down to a certain extent.
