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).
out wards
A block of glass that can split white light into the many colors that it is comprised of is called a prism. The name comes from the traditional shape of the tool, which is a triangular prism.
It refracts four times.
Glass feels warm when you touch it because it absorbs and retains heat from its surroundings. When your body comes into contact with the glass, heat flows from your skin to the glass, making it feel warm.

The light that does not cross the boundary is reflected back into the glass. (Or back into the air, if that is where it started.)
You have to get the whole back glass, the seal is attached to the glass and that is the way it comes.
out wards
Glass is transparent meaning light passes through it and therefore you can see through it, but some light reflects back and if the surface is very smooth as glass often is then the light reflected back can be seen as a reflected image.
Well it comes from ancient Egypt. That's why it was in the biggest light ever.
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.
it comes back on after about ten minutes

lenses bend light by having the light pass through the glass(or whatever material) of the lense in which the light will slow down. As the light enters the glass the very first part of the ray will slow down alowing other parts to catch up. This makes the light bend towards the normal (perpendicular to side of glass). As the light leaves the glass the oposite occurs. The light that leaves the glass goes faster leaving other parts behind and bending it away form the normal. How much the light bends depends on the shape of the lense the material of the lense and the angle that the light comes in at.
the light 'beam' (if you like) will slightly change direction this is bending light, light only travels in straight lines but due to the shape of the glass it changes direction when the beam exits the glass its should go back to its shape of ligh beam .
