The ray of light gets refracted. Depending on the medium it is entering, it will bend either to or away from the normal. For example, if it is entering a glass block from air, it will bend towards the normal, and if it leaves a glass block and enters air it will bend away from the normal. The amount the ray bends depends on the angle of incidences and the refractive indices of the two mediums, and are governed by Snell's Law.

What happens when a ray of light enters a glass block at 90 degrees?
When a ray of light enters a glass block at 90 degrees, it continues in a straight line without bending. This is because there is no change in the speed of light when it enters the glass block at a perpendicular angle.
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.
When a light ray enters a glass block at an angle what happens to its direction?
The light ray changes direction as it enters the glass block due to refraction, where the speed of light changes as it passes from one medium to another. This change in direction is caused by the bending of the light ray towards the normal of the surface at the point of entry.
What happens when you shine a light in to a glass block?
When light enters a glass block, it changes speed and bends due to refraction, causing the light beam to deviate from its original path. The light exits the glass block at a different angle than it entered. This phenomenon is a result of the change in the speed of light as it passes from air into the denser medium of the glass.
What happens to some of the light before entering a glass block?
When light enters a glass block, it undergoes reflection and refraction. However at the glass air interface, refraction occurs to a larger extent than refraction and hence some of the light is reflected while the rest of it enters the glass block.
What happens when a ray of light enters a glass block at 90 degrees?
When a ray of light enters a glass block at 90 degrees, it continues in a straight line without bending. This is because there is no change in the speed of light when it enters the glass block at a perpendicular angle.
Does a light ray bend if it enters a glass block perpendicularly?
No, a light ray does not bend if it enters a glass block perpendicularly.

What happens when the light goes into and comes out of a glass block?
When light enters a glass block, it slows down and bends (refracts) due to the change in medium density. As the light passes through the block, it continues to bend until it reaches the other side, where it exits the block and resumes its original speed and direction.
When light goes into a glass block most is transmitted some does not what happens to it?
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.
When a ray of light enters a glass block at 90 degrees what happens?
It gets bent. (it bends away from the normal. if you put it, say on the right side, it will come out of the left side.
What will happen when a ray of light is shone at a glass block?
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.
Light always travels incredibly fast but it does what when it leaves air and enters glass?
It slows down.
What will happen when the light ray is shone at a glass block?
When a light ray enters a glass block, it will be refracted or bent due to the change in speed as it moves from one medium (air) to another (glass). This bending is caused by the change in the optical density of the two materials. The degree of bending depends on the angle at which the light ray enters the glass block.
