When light travels from air to glass, it slows down due to the higher refractive index of glass compared to air. This change in speed causes the light to bend towards the normal (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface) at the point of entry. This bending of light is known as refraction.
What else can I help you with?
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
What happens when a light ray travels through air into glass?
When a light ray travels from air into glass, it slows down due to the change in medium density. This change in speed causes the light ray to bend or refract, according to Snell's Law. The amount of bending depends on the angle at which the light ray enters the glass and the refractive indices of the two materials.
How does light behaves when it travels from air through glass?
When light travels from air to glass, it slows down due to the increase in optical density, causing the light waves to bend towards the normal. This phenomenon is known as refraction. The speed of light in glass is slower than in air due to the higher refractive index of glass.
What is it called when light travels from air to glass?
When light travels from air to glass it is called refraction. As it travels, the light ray slows down and bends towards the normal. The normal is a line drawn at right angles to the boundary of the medium.
What is the material through which light travels like air or water?
"air", "water" "glass" - generically a medium.
What happens to the speed of light when it travels from air into glass?
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.
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 travels from air to glass its speed?
. . . decreases.
What happens to the direction of a light ray as it travels from glass into the air?
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 .

When light travels from air into a glass slab there is no change in its?
direction
How does light behaves when it travels from air through glass?

When light travels from air to glass the wave speed decreases B'coz glass is denser than air.?
Correct.
What is it called when light travels from air to glass?
When light travels from air to glass it is called refraction. As it travels, the light ray slows down and bends towards the normal. The normal is a line drawn at right angles to the boundary of the medium.
Where will be speed of light minimum-water or air or vacuum or glass?
The speed of light is minimum in Glass. It is because light travels at minimum speed in solids.
What is the material through which light travels like air or water?
"air", "water" "glass" - generically a medium.
