Some of the light is reflected, some is absorbed by the glass, and the rest makes it
all the way through and comes out of the other side.
Since the glass is "frosted" or"ground", the light is scattered (bounces around)
inside the glass, and doesn't follow a straight path. Although the light intensity
and illumination survive the trip through it, images don't.

What happens when you make a rainbow with the help of a glass of water and sunlight?
The sunlight hits the glass of water and then the light disperses out as a spectrum of colour (rainbow). This is because sunlight is white light and white light contains the 7 colours of the rainbow. When it hits the glass the colours refract and disperse out as the spectrum of colours, which we see as a rainbow.
What happens when sunlight goes through glass?
Whenever electromagnetic radiation of any kind (light, heat, radio, gamma rays and microwaves are all examples of electromagnetic radiation) travels from one medium to another, the radiation will be refracted because the speed of light in each medium is different. When light travels from air into glass, the glass slows the light down, and the light refracts or "bends" toward the glass, depending on the angle of incidence. (The Angle of Incidence is the angle at which the light hits the glass. ) The amount of refraction (bending) also depends on the wavelength of the radiation, so when sunlight hits the glass at an angle, the glass breaks the "white" light into a rainbow of colors. This is the same thing that happens with a real rainbow, when light hits water droplets and is refracted and broken into different colors.
What happen when light hits a two way glass?
When light hits a two-way glass, part of the light is reflected back in the directionit came from, while part of it goes one way, part of it goes the other way, and therest of it is absorbed by the glass and goes nowhere.
The path of a light ray from glass into water?
Depends on the angle the light ray hits the water.
What happens to the speed of light when it passes from water to glass?
the speed of light it different when it is passed through air, water or glass because all these have different optical densities. Speed of light is fastest in air, slower in water and slowest in glass.
Is a frosted glass translucent?
A translucent object is something that you can see through, but not completely. When light hits a translucent object, the light is scattered, meaning only some of the light passed through. An opaque object (like metal or wood) allows no light to pass through, and a transparent object (like glass or air) allows all or most light to pass.
What happens to light when it hits clear glass?
the light is being reflected in the opposite direction. when it hits some point for example the edge of grass it will start to burn (that happens in case of sun light)

What happens to the light that doesnt go through glass?
When light hits glass: -- some of it bounces off the glass surface and goes back away from the glass (reflection) -- some of it is absorbed into the glass and never heard from again (absorption) -- some of it goes through the glass and comes out the other side (transmission).
What causes light to refract when it hits a piece of glass?
the light rays hit the piece of glass and the surface of the glass causes it to refract
What happens when a light hits a object?
Translucent materials will allow light to pass through them, but usually it also scatters the light a little so that you can't see through it clearly like a transparent piece of glass.
What happens when light hits foil?
It should reflect the light.
What happens when a ray of light hits a mirror?
The light hits the mirror and the light bounces off like a reflection
What happen when light hits a two way glass?

What happens to light when it hits?
it goes nowhere
What does it mean when light is refracted?
When light is refracted, it means that it is redirected to another direction. A good example is when a light ray hits a glass and it redirected by the glass to a different object.
