"air", "water" "glass" - generically a medium.
When light strikes a transparent body like glass, it can either be transmitted (pass through the glass), reflected (bounce off the surface of the glass), or refracted (bent as it passes through the glass). The amount of light that is transmitted, reflected, and refracted depends on the angle of incidence and the properties of the glass.
Light travels through a variety of materials, including air, water, glass, and other transparent substances. The speed of light can vary depending on the material it is passing through, with factors such as density and refractive index affecting how light behaves.
Materials are classified into three catagories firstly opaque through which light can not pass,secondly transparent through which light can pass and lastly translucent through light light passes partially.
When light travels through a transparent object, it is transmitted through the material without being absorbed or scattered. The speed of light may change as it passes through the object, causing the light to refract or bend.
When light travels at right angles into a transparent object (i.e. angle of incidence is zero), no refraction occurs.
Some glass is transparent to visible light.

The speed of light decreases when it travels from air into glass because the glass has a higher refractive index than air. This causes the light to slow down as it moves through the denser medium.
No, slower. Light travels fastest in a vacuum. Anything transparent that light can pass through slows it down somewhat. Diamond crystal slows it down notably, which is part of what causes the "fire" in a diamond.

light passes through glass
the light 'beam' (if you like) will slightly change direction this is bending light, light only travels in straight lines but due to the shape of the glass it changes direction when the beam exits the glass its should go back to its shape of ligh beam .
