Bending away from the normal
light is refracted when it travels through air and then through glass
When a ray of light from a medium is incident on another medium with different optical density, the ray bends due to refraction. The perpendicular distance between the emergent ray and the incident ray is called the lateral shift. The angle which the incident ray makes with the normal is called angle of incidence denoted by 'i' and the angle made by the refracted ray with the normal is called the angle of refraction denoted by 'r'. Lateral shift is given by the formula:- Where t is the thickness of the glass slab, i is the angle of incidence and r is the angle of refraction
yes it is because the eye glass has a refracting effect that bends the path of light in to your eye at the right angle
Gets refracted more in case of glass than water as glass has higher refractive index with respect to air
Radiation that strikes the interface parallel to the normal, i.e. perpendicular to the boundary, is not refracted.
Bending away from the normal
It does not move from glass to air but undergoes internal refraction. That is, it is refracted back into the glass at the interface.
The light will bend into an angle because of the shape of the glass and the location from which the light is coming from.
Some of the light is reflected off the glass at the same angle - in a manner and angle similar to that of a ball deflected off a surface at a similar angle. This is what happens when light reflects from car windows into our faces. Much of the light, however, will penetrate the glass, so that the light source is seen from the other side. Nevertheless, on contact with the glass, the light that penetrates will be refracted (bent) and travel through the glass at a different angle from that of its original contact with the glass; but once having travelled through the glass, it will leave at its original angle of contact. The amount of refraction depends on a number of factors, but especially, on the thickness of the glass and specific angle of contact involved. So, the light bends as it passes through the glass, but leaves at its original angle.
Whenever electromagnetic radiation of any kind (light, heat, radio, gamma rays and microwaves are all examples of electromagnetic radiation) travels from one medium to another, the radiation will be refracted because the speed of light in each medium is different. When light travels from air into glass, the glass slows the light down, and the light refracts or "bends" toward the glass, depending on the angle of incidence. (The Angle of Incidence is the angle at which the light hits the glass. ) The amount of refraction (bending) also depends on the wavelength of the radiation, so when sunlight hits the glass at an angle, the glass breaks the "white" light into a rainbow of colors. This is the same thing that happens with a real rainbow, when light hits water droplets and is refracted and broken into different colors.
Refraction: light speeding up and slowing down, between mediums. When light travels from a more dense material to a low density material like glass to air, light will be refracted away from the normal. When light travels from a less dense material to high density material, for example from air to water, light will be refracted towards the normal. Similarly, the refracted ray is a ray that shows the direction that light travels after it has crossed over the boundary. In the diagram, a normal line is drawn to the surface at the point of incidence. This line is always drawn perpendicular to the boundary. The angle that the incident ray makes with the normal line is referred to as the angle of incidence. Similarly, the angle that the refracted ray makes with the normal line is referred to as the angle of refraction. The angle of incidence and angle of refraction are denoted by the following symbols: = angle of incidence = angle of refraction --- = Normal 90'

Red since red light travels the slowest
When a ray of light from a medium is incident on another medium with different optical density, the ray bends due to refraction. The perpendicular distance between the emergent ray and the incident ray is called the lateral shift. The angle which the incident ray makes with the normal is called angle of incidence denoted by 'i' and the angle made by the refracted ray with the normal is called the angle of refraction denoted by 'r'. Lateral shift is given by the formula:- Where t is the thickness of the glass slab, i is the angle of incidence and r is the angle of refraction
The angle of refraction is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal (a perpindicular line to the tangent and the plane of the surface). A ray that enters at the normal angle leaves at the normal angle; there is no angle between the ray and the normal, so it is 0o.
The effect of light refraction in the case of a light beam departing from the refracting face of a prism is examined in this paper. It is established that the refracted flux diminishes to zero as the angle of departure increases to 14°; the angle of refraction is independent of the angle of departure, and equals the angle of refraction of glazing rays. The nature of the distribution of the refracted ray intensity along the refracting face is determined. Data are presented about the intensity distribution in the refracted beam at the exit from the prism and in the plane of the radiation detector.
