When light travels sideways through a glass of water and comes out the other side how many times will the light ray refract?
It refracts four times.
Can a window refract light?
Yes because at first the light is going through one medium, air, and then it travels through another, the glass window, and then goes back into the air, refracted.
Does clear glass refract light?
Clear glass does refract light when light passes from another medium like water to clear glass. But there is an exception. If the ray of light were to pass through water and hit the clear glass straight or at 90 Degrees to the surface, then clear glass does not refract the light.
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
What material through which light travels through it?
glass
How does light refract when it travels?
Through cold air

What are things that refract light?
glass, windows really anything that you can see through.
What are some materials that refract light?
All see-through materials. Glass is well known. Water also refracts light. Diamonds refract light a lot. Even air refracts light a little.
What causes light to refract when it hits a piece of glass?
the light rays hit the piece of glass and the surface of the glass causes it to refract
What material through which light travels through it?
glass
How many times does light refract when going through a window?
two times. air to glass, glass to air.
How does light behaves when it travels from air through glass?
The answer depends on the medium which it then travels through.
When is light refracted?
light is refracted when it travels through air and then through glass
