It reflects but not in a straight line it becomes slightly lower than the incidence ray. The incidence ray is the light that has been placed towards the glass block.

What happens when light hits a bent piece of glass?

Some of the light is reflected off the glass at the same angle - in a manner and angle similar to that of a ball deflected off a surface at a similar angle. This is what happens when light reflects from car windows into our faces. Much of the light, however, will penetrate the glass, so that the light source is seen from the other side. Nevertheless, on contact with the glass, the light that penetrates will be refracted (bent) and travel through the glass at a different angle from that of its original contact with the glass; but once having travelled through the glass, it will leave at its original angle of contact. The amount of refraction depends on a number of factors, but especially, on the thickness of the glass and specific angle of contact involved. So, the light bends as it passes through the glass, but leaves at its original angle.


What is a glass slab?

it is a substance made of glass having 3 dimensions and is cuboid shaped. It does not deviate the light. This means that the incident and the emergent ray are parallel. The slab only produces lateral (sideways) shift or displacement.


What makes a pole seem to bend when you put it in a glass of water?

The reason for the pole appearing bent when put inside a glass of water is refraction. When a ray of light travels through one medium to the other, it tends to bend or deviate from its original path. Thus a light ray in this case, travels from the air through water, and then again through air and reach the eyes. Thus, the light ray deviates from its original path causing this phenomenon.


What happens when light enters a glass block?

If the Glass Block acts as a Prism, then when you shine white light on a it, the White Light refracts into all Primary Colors. When the Light exits the Prism you can see all the rainbow colors.

What happens when a ray of light is directed at a block of glass?

When a ray of light is directed at a glass block, it may be reflected. However, in most cases, refraction will take place when the ray is redirected in a different angle.

What happens to a ray of light as it enters and leaves a glass block?

The ray of light gets refracted. Depending on the medium it is entering, it will bend either to or away from the normal. For example, if it is entering a glass block from air, it will bend towards the normal, and if it leaves a glass block and enters air it will bend away from the normal. The amount the ray bends depends on the angle of incidences and the refractive indices of the two mediums, and are governed by Snell's Law.
