It's either absorbed, reflected or refracted by the material, or any combination of the three. Refraction happens in transparent materials like glass, the speed and possibly direction of the light may be altered. Light travelling through glass, water or diamond for example, will travel slightly slower.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the direction of a light wave when it passes from a less dense medium such as air into a more medium such as glass?
The light bends when it passes from one medium to another. But only if it approaches the interface at an angle. In such a case it will still travel slower, but there will be no apparent bending.
What happens to light when it passes thought a different medium?
It bends.
What happens when light scatters?
It is redirected as it passes through a medium.

Is reflection the bending of light?
No,its called refraction. this actually happens when the light passes from one medium to another and thus the velocity of light changes, which enable the light to bend.
What happens when a ray of light passes from rarer medium to rarer medium?
When a ray of light passes from a rarer medium to a rarer medium, it will continue in a straight line and its speed will remain constant. There will be no change in the direction of the light ray.
This happens when light bends as it passes throw water?
Refraction occurs when light changes direction as it passes from one medium to another, such as from air to water. This bending of light is due to the change in speed of light as it enters a denser or less dense medium, causing the light rays to change direction.
Is light reflected or refracted when it passes through a transparent medium?
Light can be both reflected and refracted when it passes through a transparent medium. Reflection occurs when light bounces off the surface of the medium, while refraction happens when light changes direction as it moves through the medium.
Can you give me an example of a sentence using the word refraction and medium?
" The light is bent by refraction, caused by the medium through which it passes"
When light passes through a denser medium what happens to the light?
a denser medium hav more no.of particles also > the no.of particles > the opposition provided for..... therefore both wavelength and speed of light changes but frequency remains the same.
What light does as it passes from one medium to another?
Light changes speed and direction as it passes from one medium to another due to the change in density between the two media. This change in speed and direction is known as refraction.
