Why does light refact when it passes from air into a glass slab?
When light passes into the slab it is changing medium from less to more dense. When that happens the light slows down and bends towards from the normal
Why does the light bend as it passes from air to glass or from glass to air?
This is due to the difference in optical density.
What happens when light passes from three different mediums like water to glass and glass to air?
In that case, it will change direction twice - in this example, once when it changes over from water to glass, and once when it changes from glass to air.
Why does light refract when it passes from air into a glass slab?
Because glass slab is optically denser than air.
What happens when light passes from air into gas?
Air is a gas silly ;)
What happens to the speed of the light when it passes from air into glass?
The speed decreases.

What happens when light passes through glass with the same optical density as air?
Nothing. It continues to travel in a straight line.

Air is a gas silly ;)
Is light lost when it passes out from a dense material like glass to air?
no
What happens to the speed of light as passes from water to air?
It increases.
What happens when light passes air into water?
it slows down.
What happens to speed of light when light goes into air?
That depends what it comes out of. If it passes into air from vacuum, thenits speed decreases. If it passes into air from water or jello, then its speedincreases.
What happens to the dirtier of a light wave when it passes from a less dense medium such as air into a more dense medium such as glass?
The answer depends on what on earth you mean by the "dirtier" of a wave.
