Heat flows from the hotter object to the colder object, unless there is some external process (such as a heat pump) which is transferring the heat in the opposite direction.


Is it true that when light passes from air to glass the light may change direction due to reflection?

It is true that light will change direction when going from one medium to another (such as going through space to going through air. Further, different wavelengths of light (different colors) will change at different angles; this is why a prism works and why the sky is blue. However, this process is called refraction, not reflection.
