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.
Does light bend as it passes through materials?
Light is affected by the media that it travels through. Even air will bend light. Glass and water certainly bend light.
What happens when light is refracted through water from air?
The light will bend as it passes through.
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 goes from water to air?
light rays bend away from normal as it passes from denser water to rarer air

Why does light bend more through plexi glass than through air?
It is because the glass has more refractive index than air which makes the light bend more through glass than air.

Why would a wave bend when it passes from air into water?
The speed of light slows in water.
What happens to the speed of the light when it passes from air into glass?
The speed decreases.
Is light lost when it passes out from a dense material like glass to air?
no
Why is light broken into different colors when it passes through a prism?
Refraction. White light is a mix of colors in the first place; these colors have different indices of refraction. That is, when moving from air to glass, as in a prism, they will bend at slightly different angles.
Why do light ray bend toward the normal when it passes air into water?

Why does light bend when it goes through glass at an angle?
Change in speed of the light in glass. Fermat showed that time is invariant in light paths. This results in Light following the Law of Signs. sin(Air Angle)/speed in air = sin( Glass Angle)/speed in glass .
