Refraction of light occurs when a light pass through a glass that is filled with water. In this process, the light changes direction as it changes transmission medium.

Why does a glass filled with water distort things?
because light travels slower through water
What will happen to the glass if you will dip it upside down in a pail filled with water?
It will trap the air within it till it tips over, and releases the air.
What will happen when a ray light is on a glass block?
Some will be reflected, and what goes through will be refracted.
What will happen when ray of light passes through a glass slab?
speed of light will decreases
What happen if refractive index of glass is same as that of air?
then we wouldn't be able to identify from air and glass at all, since light would pass through glass without deflecting at all!!
What might happen to a glass bottle if it is filled with water and capped tightly and put in the freezer?
it will buse
If you have a half filled glass of lemonade on a table for one week what might happen to the water in the lemonade?
The water should evaporate if the glass was not covered.
When you tap a glass with a little water in it It has a high pitch when you tap a glass with water filled to the top it has a low pitch why does this happen?
Glass has a natural frequency at which it vibrates, known as its resonant frequency. If you put energy into the substance at its resonant frequency, you will force it to vibrate or resonate (resonance is a forced vibration). So, tapping imparts energy to the glass molecules and causes them to resonate. This motion sets up a wave of vibration traveling through the glass. The vibrating glass causes air molecules to vibrate similarly. The vibrating air molecules are the sound wave that you hear (the frequency or pitch of the sound wave is the same as the resonant frequency of the glass). As the resonant wave moves through the glass, it moves the water molecules with it, creating a wave of water that you can see near the edge of the glass. The dragging water molecules effectively increase the mass (both the water and the glass molecules) and reduce the energy of the wave traveling through the glass. When the energy is reduced, so is the frequency of the wave in the glass, which is reflected in the pitch of the sound wave that you hear. In simpler terms, when you tap a glass with a lot of water in it, there are fewer vibrations because they have more trouble traveling through the higher mass. Thus, the lower pitch.

If light traveling through air is then passed through glass what is the result?
the light slows in speed and refracts due to glass being denser than air.
The traveling of concentrated light through long tiny fibers of glass to carry sound is called fiber?
