When light enters certain materials like glass or water it is absorbed by the atoms and molecules in the material as energy. These energized atoms and molecules then give up their energy by emitting light. The whole process is actually very complicated but the absorption and reemittance process effectively slows the progress of the light thru the material.
Yes it does change.When it moves through air it moves with 299 792 458 meters per second! when it moves through glass it moves with about 150 000 000 meters per second.It slows it.

it is glass because in my science cass at high school earlier this year we were told it travels fastest through solid, liquid, then gas. This is because in a solid the particles are closer together and then liquid then gas. So it is glass. Also Sound travels slower in air (a gas) because the particles it relies on to transmit the sound are spread out further. In liquids and solids however, the particles are less spread out and therefore the sound can transmit faster.
When light enters a glass block, some of it is reflected back, some is transmitted through the glass, and some is absorbed by the glass and converted into heat. The amount that is reflected, transmitted, and absorbed depends on the angle of incidence and the properties of the glass block.
Violet light tends to travel the slowest through a glass prism due to its shorter wavelength compared to other colors of visible light. This causes violet light to refract more as it enters and exits the glass, resulting in a slower speed.
No, slower.
When a ray of light is shone at a glass block, it will refract (bend) as it enters the glass due to the change in the speed of light in the material. The light will then travel through the glass block, possibly reflecting off the surfaces inside, and refract again as it exits the block.
When a ray of light hits a glass block at a 90-degree angle (normal incidence), it continues to travel through the glass block without changing its direction. This is known as refraction without deviation.

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.
Yes, both light and sound can travel through glass. Glass is transparent to light, allowing it to pass through without significant absorption or scattering. Sound can also travel through glass, but with some attenuation due to its denser nature compared to air.
Heat travels through glass primarily via conduction, where the energy is transferred through direct contact of molecules within the material. Glass is a poor conductor of heat compared to metal, so heat transfer is slower in glass due to its low thermal conductivity. Additionally, heat can also be transferred through glass via radiation, where energy is emitted and absorbed through electromagnetic waves.
Sound travels slowest through d) wood. Wood is a solid material and sound waves travel slower in solids compared to liquids and gases like air, glass, and water.
No, light does not travel at the same speed through all transparent media. The speed of light can vary depending on the medium it is traveling through. It typically travels slower through materials like glass or water compared to its speed in a vacuum.
Light can travel through transparent and translucent glass.
No, apart from "spacetime". But it CAN travel through a medium such as air or glass.
