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 is it called when glass bends light?
It is called refraction. When light enters a different medium, such as glass, its speed changes, causing the light to change direction, or bend.
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.
What happens to light waves when they pass through a window?

How do you explain that the pencil appears broken in the glass of water?
A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air. This is called "refraction".A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air.

When light enters glass from air it changes direction. What is the change of direction called?
If the light is entering from air or a vacuum, the light will slow down. The affect of this, if the light hits the glass at an angle, is that the direction of the light will change.
When light enters glass from air at an olique angle the wave crests change direction there new direction is what?
The angel of the light ray emerging is called "Angle of Deviation"
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.

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.
What happens to the direction of a light wave when it passes from a less dense medium such as air into more dense medium such as 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 .
What is the name of the effect when light goes through glass but changes direction?
The name of the effect is refraction. Refraction occurs when light passes through a medium such as glass and changes its speed and direction, resulting in bending of the light rays.
What is the angle called when light hits a mirror or glass block?
If I remember correctly, the angle that the light makes with the plane of the surface is called the incident angle.Incident angle.
