When light travels from air to glass it is called refraction. As it travels, the light ray slows down and bends towards the normal.
The normal is a line drawn at right angles to the boundary of the medium.

What happens when a light ray travels through air into glass?
Light speed slows down in the glass.
When is light refracted?
light is refracted when it travels through air and then through glass
What happens to light rays as it travels from the transparent glass of air?
prism
How does light behaves when it travels from air through glass?
The answer depends on the medium which it then travels through.
Does light travel faster through air water vacuum or glass?
it travels faster through air.
When light travels from air to glass its speed?
. . . decreases.
When light travels from air to glass its speed is what?
The ratio between the speed of light in vacuum, c, and the speed at which light travels in a material, v, is called the refractive index of the material.The refractive index of air for visible light is 1.000293, so the speed of light in air is c / 1.000293 ≈ 299,705,000 m/s. The refractive index of glass, depending on the type of glass, for visible light is around 1.5, so the light in glass travels at c / 1.5 ≈ 200,000,000 m/s.
What happens when a light ray travels through air into glass?
Light speed slows down in the glass.
When light travels from air into a glass slab there is no change in its?
direction
What happens to the speed of light when it travels from air into glass?

When is light refracted?
light is refracted when it travels through air and then through glass
When light travels from air to glass the wave speed decreases B'coz glass is denser than air.?
Correct.
What happens to light rays as it travels from the transparent glass of air?
prism
How does light behaves when it travels from air through glass?
The answer depends on the medium which it then travels through.
Where will be speed of light minimum-water or air or vacuum or glass?
The speed of light is minimum in Glass. It is because light travels at minimum speed in solids.
What travels the fastest sound in air rocket in space light in vacuum microwaves in glass?
light in a vacuum
Does light travel faster through air water vacuum or glass?
it travels faster through air.
