In glass, light will go somewhat slower than in a vacuum. Air is almost like a vacuum, with respect to the speed of light - some difference still exists, though.

Why light is refracted as it moves from air into glass?
Light is refracted as it moves from air into glass because the speed of light changes as it travels from a less dense medium (air) to a more dense medium (glass). This change in speed causes the light rays to bend, resulting in refraction.
Why does light bend when it enters glass?
Light bends when it enters glass due to a change in speed caused by the difference in refractive index between air and glass. This change in speed causes the light to change direction, a phenomenon known as refraction.
Why does the light bend as it passes from air to glass or from glass to air?
Light bends when passing from air to glass (or vice versa) due to a change in the speed of light, which is influenced by the different densities of the two mediums. This change in speed results in the light rays refracting or bending as they enter or exit the medium to maintain the speed of light.
When light comes back out from glass?
When light enters glass, it bends due to the difference in the speed of light in glass compared to air (refraction). When the light exits the glass back into air, it bends again, this time away from the normal line. This bending of light is due to the change in the speed of light as it transitions from glass back to air.
How a ray of light can travel from air into glass without bending?
When light travels from air into glass, it may not bend if it hits the glass surface perpendicular to it, which is called normal incidence. In this case, the speed of light doesn't change as it enters the glass, so there is no bending of the light ray. However, if the light hits the glass at an angle, it will bend due to the change in speed between air and glass, a phenomenon known as refraction.
What does speed change when a ray of light leaves air and enters a piece of glass?
The speed of light slows down ... in general, the denser the material, the lower the speed of light. (For example : air to water to glass.) The maximum speed is in a vacuum.
When a ray of light from air enters to glass what happens to wavelength?
It will not change. Glass slows light but does not change it frequency.

What happens to the speed of the light as it travels from the air through the glass and then through the water?
The light refracts due to the change in speed. The change in speed occurs because the light is travelling through a denser medium. So it will travel fastest through the air and slowest through the glass
When light passes from air to glass what happens?
When light passes from air to glass, it undergoes refraction, which is the bending of the light ray due to the change in speed as it moves from one medium to another. The speed of light is slower in glass compared to air, causing the light ray to bend towards the normal.
Where do the light waves coming from the pencil change speed?
The light waves coming from the pencil change speed when they move from air (faster speed) to the glass or water (slower speed). This change in speed causes the light waves to refract or bend.
What is the difference in the speed of light in air, water, and glass?
The speed of light is fastest in air, slower in water, and slowest in glass.
What happens to the wavelength of light when a ray of light enters a glass slab from air?
when the light enters into another medium, its speed changes. Hence there will be the change in the wavelength. Speed = frequency times wavelength Since the speed of light is less is glass compare to the air, its wave length will be less in glass.
