What happens to a ray of light as it enters and leaves a glass block?
The ray of light gets refracted. Depending on the medium it is entering, it will bend either to or away from the normal. For example, if it is entering a glass block from air, it will bend towards the normal, and if it leaves a glass block and enters air it will bend away from the normal. The amount the ray bends depends on the angle of incidences and the refractive indices of the two mediums, and are governed by Snell's Law.
What happens when a ray of light is directed at a mirror?
it is reflected
What will happen when the light ray is shone at a glass block?
the light ray turns into a rainbow like ray
Is there a relationship between lateral displacement and the emergent ray?
the thickness of the glass block
What happens when a ray of light enters a glass block at 90 degrees?
It gets bent. (it bends away from the normal. if you put it, say on the right side, it will come out of the left side.
What happens when a ray of light is directed at a block of glass?
When a ray of light is directed at a glass block, it may be reflected. However, in most cases, refraction will take place when the ray is redirected in a different angle.
What happens when a ray is directed at a glass box?
when a ray box is shown at a mirror it reflectes
Does a light ray bend if it enters a glass block perpendicularly?
No, a light ray does not bend if it enters a glass block perpendicularly.
What happens when a ray shone at a glass block?
The white light splits into a spectrum.the original colors will appear. This is referred as REFRACTION.

Why should the ray emerging from the glass block come out parallel to the incident ray?
The ray comes out parallel to the incident ray because the ray has the opposite refraction as when it entered the block.
What will happen when the light ray is shone at a glass block?
the light ray turns into a rainbow like ray
Which angle hits a mirror or glass block?
The angle does not hit anything! A ray of light hits a mirror or glass block and the angle that the ray makes with the vertical at the point of contact is the angle of incidence.
Is there a relationship between lateral displacement and the emergent ray?
the thickness of the glass block
When a ray of light enters a glass block at 90 degrees what happens?
It gets bent. (it bends away from the normal. if you put it, say on the right side, it will come out of the left side.
