This will depend on the angle of incidence. If the light source is perpendicular to the edge of the the block then it will pass through with no change in direction. However if the light source is not perpendicular then the light will alter in direction slightly due to the change in speed of the light waves (light travels slower through the block than the air). When leaving the block the light will resume its original trajectory but slightly offset (parallel to the original beam).

How does light travel through a cuboid?
A cuboid may or may not be transparent to light. In the latter case, light will not travel through the cuboid.The path of a light beam through a transparent cuboid depends on the angle at which the beam is incident on the surface of the cuboid as well as on the optical properties (uniform refractivity or not) of the material of the cuboid.
What happens when a light ray travels through air into glass?
Light speed slows down in the glass.
What happens when light is refracted through glass?
The light will bend into an angle because of the shape of the glass and the location from which the light is coming from.
What happens when light passes through a glass of milk?
Light does not pass through a glass of milk. The glass is transparent, so the light will be refracted a bit when entering the glass, and again while leaving the glass, but milk itself is opaque. Light would be absorbed in the milk, and converted into heat.
What happens when you shine light through plain glass?
It goes out the other side.
What happens when light hits frosted glass?
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 to a beam of white light when it passes through a glass prism?
it creates a rainbow
What happens when a yellow light is passed through a green glass prism?

What happens to the speed of the light as it travels from the air through the glass and then through the water?
The light refracts due to the change in speed. The change in speed occurs because the light is travelling through a denser medium. So it will travel fastest through the air and slowest through the glass
Two beams of light shine on a white screen where one beam shines through a pane of red glass and the other shines through a beam of green glass. What happens if the two panes of glass are placed .....?
No light will be produced.
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 happens when light passes through a glass box?
You will see what some people call a rainbow, the differing refraction of light frequencies
