It would cause light to refract differently because the angle at which the light hits the glass block would alter and there for the way the light refracts would also alter.

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 happened when a ray of light is shone at a glass block?

It all depends on the angle if incidence. In general the light will refract i.e. bend through the glass and come out at the other end. Also, the speed of light will vary through the glass.

Why will a diamond block refract light at a bigger angle that glass?

This is a property called the refractive index. It is related loosely to the electrical permittivity of diamond and more specifically to the arrangement of electrons in the crystal lattice.
