This will depend on the angle of incidence. If the light source is perpendicular to the edge of the the block then it will pass through with no change in direction. However if the light source is not perpendicular then the light will alter in direction slightly due to the change in speed of the light waves (light travels slower through the block than the air). When leaving the block the light will resume its original trajectory but slightly offset (parallel to the original beam).

How does light travel through a cuboid?

A cuboid may or may not be transparent to light. In the latter case, light will not travel through the cuboid.The path of a light beam through a transparent cuboid depends on the angle at which the beam is incident on the surface of the cuboid as well as on the optical properties (uniform refractivity or not) of the material of the cuboid.


What happens when light is refracted through glass?

The light will bend into an angle because of the shape of the glass and the location from which the light is coming from.


What happens when light passes through a glass block?

When light passes through a glass block, it undergoes refraction, which is the bending of light as it enters the glass and again as it exits. The speed of light changes as it moves from air to glass, causing the light rays to change direction.


What happens when you shine light through plain glass?

It goes out the other side.


What happens when you shine a light at a glass block?

When light is shined at a glass block, some of the light is transmitted through the block, some is reflected, and some is absorbed. The transmitted light changes its direction due to refraction as it passes through the glass block.


What happens to light when it strikes glass?

When light strikes glass, it may be reflected, transmitted through the glass, or absorbed by the material. The amount of light reflected or transmitted depends on the angle of incidence and the refractive index of the glass. Glass is transparent to visible light, which allows it to transmit light through its surface.


What happens light when it falls on a window glass?

When light falls on a window glass, some of it is reflected back, some is absorbed by the glass, and some is transmitted through the glass. The amount of light that is reflected, absorbed, and transmitted depends on the angle of incidence, the type of glass, and the properties of the light.


What happens to light when it strikes clear glass?

When light strikes clear glass, most of it is transmitted through the material, allowing you to see through the glass. Some light is also reflected off the surface of the glass. The amount of light that is transmitted versus reflected depends on the angle of incidence and the refractive index of the glass.


What happens to light which does not go into the glass block?

Light that does not enter the glass block will either continue traveling through the air or be reflected off the surface of the glass block. The reflected light may create a reflection or be absorbed by the surroundings.


What happens when light passes through a glass of milk?

Light does not pass through a glass of milk. The glass is transparent, so the light will be refracted a bit when entering the glass, and again while leaving the glass, but milk itself is opaque. Light would be absorbed in the milk, and converted into heat.


Does light go through glass?

Yes, light can pass through glass because glass is a transparent material that allows light to travel through it.


What happens to light energy when it strikes a clear glass window?

When light energy strikes a clear glass window, some of it is transmitted through the glass, allowing you to see through the window. Some of the light is reflected off the surface of the glass, and a small amount is absorbed by the glass and converted into heat.
