It is refracted or 'bent' at the surface of the transparent material. (Obviously, to be directed at a transparent material the light must be travelling through a material that is at least partially transparent.) Please see the link.

What happens when the light is directed at a transparent material?

When light is directed at a transparent material, such as glass or water, it passes through the material with little to no obstruction. The material may refract or bend the light, but it generally allows the light to transmit through it, making the material appear clear or see-through.


What happen when light is directed at a transparent materials?

When light is directed at a transparent material, the material allows the light to pass through it. The light is either transmitted through the material without being absorbed or is refracted (bent) as it passes through. This results in the material appearing transparent to the observer.


What happens to light upon meeting opaque and transparent materials?

opaque material: some light will get reflected and some will get absorbed transparent material: light will go though it

What happens when a light ray travels at right angles into a transparent object?

When light travels at right angles into a transparent object (i.e. angle of incidence is zero), no refraction occurs.


What happens to light when opaque meets a transparent material?

When light encounters an opaque material adjacent to a transparent material, most of the light is reflected and absorbed by the opaque material, while a small amount may be transmitted through the transparent material. The opaque material blocks the passage of light, creating a shadow on the transparent material.


How does a transparent objects get its color?

when light passes through it you can see the other side. When this happens, we say that the object transmits light
