When light passes through glass, its speed decreases and it bends, or refracts, due to the change in the medium.
The splitting of white light into its component colors when passing through a glass prism is called dispersion.
Light waves passing through window glass undergo refraction, where they change speed and direction due to the change in medium density. This refraction allows light to enter the glass at an angle and exit at a different angle, making objects appear shifted when viewed through the glass.
Light changes direction each time it passes from one medium to another - from air to glass, from glass to water, from water to glass, from glass to air. It will only NOT change direction if it is passing from one medium to another at exactly 90 degrees.
UV light does not pass through glass because the molecules in glass absorb and block the UV radiation, preventing it from passing through.
Yes, when light passes from air into a pane of glass, it refracts, meaning it changes direction due to the change in speed as it enters the glass. This bending of light is due to the change in the optical density of the medium it is passing through.

Yes, a telescope with incoming light passing through glass does refract. The glass lenses or mirrors in a telescope refract light as it passes through, focusing the light to form an image.

Infrared light passes through glass because glass is transparent to infrared radiation. Glass does not absorb or reflect infrared light, allowing it to transmit through the material.
A spherical bubble in a pane of glass will act to diverge light passing through it. This is because the spherical shape of the bubble causes the light rays passing through it to refract outwards, leading to a diverging effect.
No, dust particles are too large to pass through the microscopic openings in glass. Glass is a solid barrier that prevents larger particles like dust from passing through.
Yes, glass is transparent to microwaves and allows them to pass through, which is why microwave ovens have glass doors. However, if the glass contains metal components, it may block the microwaves from passing through effectively.
Transparent objects allow light to pass through without scattering, such as glass. Opaque objects absorb or reflect light, preventing it from passing through, like wood. Translucent objects scatter light as it passes through, leading to a diffused appearance, such as frosted glass.
Opaque materials such as metals, certain plastics, and thick glass blocks infrared radiation and prevents it from passing through.
