Is it true that when light passes from air to glass the light may change direction due to reflection?
It is true that light will change direction when going from one medium to another (such as going through space to going through air. Further, different wavelengths of light (different colors) will change at different angles; this is why a prism works and why the sky is blue. However, this process is called refraction, not reflection.

When light passes from air to glass the light may change direction due to reflection?
yes .. at any interface when light passes from one medium to another part of it gets reflected and remaining refracted. so some amount of light incident when passing from air to glass gets reflected. but in the reverse way i.e, from glass to air there is chance for all the light incident to get reflected as in the case of total internal reflection. and again coming to your case the amount of light reflected follows the laws of reflection i.e, angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. the light which got refracted follows the snell's laws of refraction.
What happens when light passes from three different mediums like water to glass and glass to air?
When light passes from water to glass, it changes speed and direction due to the difference in refractive indexes between the two mediums. When it passes from glass to air, the light again changes speed and direction, leading to refraction and possible reflection at the interface. The bending of light at each interface is determined by Snell's Law, which relates the angle of incidence and refractive indexes of the two mediums.
Is a Glass window transmission refraction reflection and absorption?
A glass window allows transmission of light through refraction and reflection. When light passes through the glass, it refracts and changes direction. Some light may also be reflected off the surface of the glass. Glass itself typically absorbs very little light.
What occurs when light strikes a transparent surface like glass?
When light strikes a transparent surface like glass, three main things can happen: transmission (light passes through the glass), reflection (light bounces off the surface), and refraction (light changes direction as it enters or exits the glass due to a change in speed).
When a beam of light passes from air into a pane of glass it refracts?
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.
What causes the change in direction when light passes into glass?
REFRACTION

When light passes at an angle from air to glass do the light changes direction due to refraction?
yes light changes its direction when it passes form air to glass due to refraction of light coz air has less density n glass is a solid so it has more density due to that when light goes form air to glass then its speed decreases n its always bends towords the normal. but if light will go perpendicularly form air to glass then it will not change its direction.

How does light passing through glass affect its speed and direction?
When light passes through glass, its speed decreases and it bends, or refracts, due to the change in the medium.
What happens when light passes through a glass block?
When light passes through a glass block, it undergoes refraction, which is the bending of light as it enters the glass and again as it exits. The speed of light changes as it moves from air to glass, causing the light rays to change direction.
Why do we see the reflection of a person standing behind a clear glass?
When light passes from one medium, such as air, to another, such as glass, it can be partially reflected and partially transmitted. The reflection is what we see as a reflection in the glass. The clarity of the glass allows light to pass through it, making the reflection visible to us.
What can bend light?
Glass, water, and other transparent materials can bend light through a process called refraction. This occurs when light passes through different mediums at an angle and changes speed, causing the light to change direction. Mirrors can also bend light through reflection, where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
When light passes into the glass block it changes direction what is this effect known as?
This effect is known as refraction. Refraction occurs due to the change in speed of light as it travels from one medium to another, causing it to change direction.
