There is insufficient information for us to even begin to understand this question. Please edit the question to include more context or relevant information. When it hits the glass, light does several things. Some of it is reflected. Some of it is absorbed as it travels through the glass and the rest of it is transmitted through the glass. Light that strikes the glasses at anything other than right angles is also refracted - its path is bent.

What this person means by this is: "When light enters a pair of glasses it ____ when it hits the glass"? It is a fill in the blank question. I guess this person forgot to add this in. The answer to this question is: When light enters a pair of glasses it reflects when it hits the glass.

When light enters glass from air it changes direction. What is the change of direction called?
If the light is entering from air or a vacuum, the light will slow down. The affect of this, if the light hits the glass at an angle, is that the direction of the light will change.
Does a tinted glass refract light?
If you get mirrored tint, it will relflect some of the light but most others filter out light like polarized glasses. The light coming in gets filtered as it hits a grid causing less light to get through.Refraction is bending of light. The window will reflect the light.
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.
Where is Total internal reflection occurs when a beam of light Answer?
Total internal reflection occurs under two conditions; 1)the light must be traveling from more dense to less dense mediums 2)the light ray must hit the surface at an angle ,called the critical angle, or larger, as measured from a perpendicular (surface normal) line to the surfaces. The critical angle is typically in the 40 - 50 deg range, but specifically depends on the densities of the two media.
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 light hits a pair of glasses?
it starts a fire
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
How does a prism work?
They refract light as the light enters through one side of the prism, at a certain angle, the glass that the prism is made of, decreases the speed of light. And so it bends. Then it hits the other face and emerges out, and that is when the dispersion happens and the white light splits into the spectrum of seven colours
A beam of light enters a fish tank hits the mirrored surface of the bottom and then comes out at the top what hampens?
reflection, refraction, and reflection occurs because of how the beam of light hits. and where it hits.
Opaque absorb or reflect light?
Glass reflects some of the light that hits it, absorbs some of the lightthat enters it, but 'transmits' most of the light that hits it. That's whyyou can see things through it pretty easily.
What happen when light hits a two way glass?
When light hits a two-way glass, part of the light is reflected back in the directionit came from, while part of it goes one way, part of it goes the other way, and therest of it is absorbed by the glass and goes nowhere.
What does it mean when light is refracted?
When light is refracted, it means that it is redirected to another direction. A good example is when a light ray hits a glass and it redirected by the glass to a different object.
Does a tinted glass refract light?
If you get mirrored tint, it will relflect some of the light but most others filter out light like polarized glasses. The light coming in gets filtered as it hits a grid causing less light to get through.Refraction is bending of light. The window will reflect the light.
Can you heat water a magnifying glass with an artificial light source instead of the sun?
Sure. But the magnifying glass can't squeeze any more heat out of your light sourcethan what the source has without the magnifying glass.The only thing the magnifying glass does is take all of the light ... and maybe heat ? ...that hits the magnifying glass and focus it down to a very small area. It has no moreheat or light to work with than what enters the glass.The most efficient way to heat water with a light bulb is to shine the bulb straight upand hang the pot over it.
The path of a light ray from glass into water?
Depends on the angle the light ray hits the water.
What happens when you make a rainbow with the help of a glass of water and sunlight?
The sunlight hits the glass of water and then the light disperses out as a spectrum of colour (rainbow). This is because sunlight is white light and white light contains the 7 colours of the rainbow. When it hits the glass the colours refract and disperse out as the spectrum of colours, which we see as a rainbow.
