The speed of light though substances is slower than the speed of light in a vacuum. As the light passes from air to water it slows and the ray's path is translated towards the normal to the air/water interface slightly.

What happens when light passes through one medium to another?
the light bends
What is the path that light travels if it does not hit an object or travel through a new medium?
Straight. Gravity bends light. It can act like a lens
What happens when light travels through a pair of eyeglasses?
It is refracted
What happens to light when it travels through transparent object?
by transmission , transmission is when the passing of light or other form of energy through matter .
When light travels through a pair of glasses is it refracted?
yes it is because the eye glass has a refracting effect that bends the path of light in to your eye at the right angle
What is called when light travels through two things and bends?
Refraction

it travels at c (speed of light in a vacuum)
What happened to light when it is refracted?
When light is Refracted it bends when it travels from one medium to another

What are the characteristic of light at zero gravity?
When there's no gravity, light just travels in one direction at the speed of light. Gravity bends the direction at which light travels.
