Will a magnifying glass magnify more under water?
Less, because the refraction between air and glass is greater than between water and glass. This makes the image that is created smaller than an image created with a magnifying glass in air.
Does light travel fastest in space in air in water or through glass?
Light's apparent speed is fastest definitely in a vacuum and slower in water or glass. Light in air behaves more like in a vacuum than in water or glass.
Is light refracted more while passing from air to water or water to glass?
yes
Will light be refracted more when it goes from air to glass or from air to water?
Gets refracted more in case of glass than water as glass has higher refractive index with respect to air
Why does white light get split up inside a glass triangular prism?
The thickness of the glass causes the white lights' components to bend and spread out its colors. The thicker the glass the more it bends. The red would be at the thickest and blue at the thinner part. Light actually slows down.When light passes from one medium to another it is refracted, that is bent, the amount of bending depends on the wavelength. Different colours have different wavelengths and as white light is made up of all colours each is bent by a different amount, so the light is split
Is light is bent more by glass than water?
yes
What is the relation of light distance and lenses?
Light travels in a straight line, as long as it is propagating through a constant medium. In space, space is pretty much empty, so the light travels in a straight line. When light passes into a different medium, such as from space into air or from air into glass, the light is bent or "refracted". You can see this for yourself; poke a straight stick into a pond or pool of water. Look at the stick. The light reflected from the stick to your eye allows you to see the stick, but the light from the part of the stick that's in the water is bent - so it appears as if the stick itself is bent. The light from the stick through the water is refracted differently than the light from the stick through the air. The greater the density of the material, the more the light will be refracted. To magnify light, we need to gather in a lot of light and bend it into a smaller area. We can use curved glass surfaces (or curved mirrors) to bend the light into a smaller area, which magnifies the light. The more dense the glass is, the more the light will be bent into a smaller area.
Will a glass of water hold more pennies than a glass of water with soap?
Water doesn't refract more light than glass
Why does the light bent toward normal when enter from air to glass even if it reduce speed but why bent?
i think the answer is that {it is my own thinking answer} when light enter from air to water it bent because it want follow a principle which is light take same time to travel in same distance in air and water therefore when it enter water it reduce speed so obiviously it take more time to travel a given distance then in air so to follow the principle that it take same time time to travel in air and water ,light bent inorder to decrease distance so by decreasing distance it will take same time

Why does the glasses's lens get thicker if your eyesight gets bad?
Eyeglasses refract light to correct for problems with the eyes. As the light needs to be bent more, the glass needs to be thicker to make the light bend farther.

Why do glass displays have glass of water inside with the exhibits?
When light shines on the water,it bounces off the surface,thus shining light everywhere to make the exhibit look brighter and more appealing....[i think this is the answer...]
Why does a pencil appear broken when put in a glass of water?
The pencil appears bent because of "refraction". Simply put, light can't travel as fast in water as it does in the air. The difference in speed causes the image to appear to bend a bit. See the related link for more details.
