What will happen when ray of light passes through a glass slab?
speed of light will decreases
Why does the light bend as it passes from air to glass or from glass to air?
This is due to the difference in optical density.
How will light be refracted if it passes from glass to water?

Does clear glass refract light?
Clear glass does refract light when light passes from another medium like water to clear glass. But there is an exception. If the ray of light were to pass through water and hit the clear glass straight or at 90 Degrees to the surface, then clear glass does not refract the light.
