When light enters or leaves one medium for another (in your case glass to air);
the speed of the light changes - AND (unless absolutely perpendicular) its path of direction changes.
What you see in your eye is the light from an object - not the object itself.
The simplest example is a looking glass ... contemplate yourself.

Why does a coin appear to be raised in a glass of water?
When light passes from air to water, it refracts due to the change in density. This refraction causes the image of the coin to appear shifted, making it seem like the coin is raised when it's actually at the bottom of the glass.
Where should a magnifying glass be placed to produce an e large and upright image closer or nearest to object?
To produce a large and upright image that is closer to the object, the magnifying glass should be placed between the object and its focal point. This setup allows for the image to be magnified and appear upright when viewed through the magnifying glass.
Does glass block infrared light?
Yes, glass can block some infrared light, depending on the type of glass and its thickness.
Does glass block infrared radiation?
Yes, glass can block some infrared radiation, depending on the type of glass and its thickness.
What happens when the ray is directed at glass block?
When a ray of light is directed at a glass block, it will refract and change direction due to the change in medium from air to glass. The ray will bend towards the normal if it is entering the glass block, and away from the normal if it is exiting the block.
When a thick glass slab is placed over some printed matter the letters appear raised when viewed through the glass slab. Why?
When we keep the glass slab over some printed matter, the light coming from the letters (after reflection ) face change of medium at glass-air interface. Since glass has more refractive index than air, the light bends away from the normal as it goes out of glass. This apparently causes us to see the letters raised. Hope this clarified your doubt.

What makes a fish appear larger when placed in a spherical fish bowl?
It's the glass that does that
How effectively does a solar panel work when placed behind glass?
When a solar panel is placed behind glass, its effectiveness can be reduced because the glass can block or reflect some of the sunlight that the panel needs to generate electricity. This can lower the overall efficiency of the solar panel.
Why does letters of newspaper seem raised when looked through thick glass?
When you look at letters of a newspaper through thick glass, the phenomenon is known as "magnification." The glass acts as a lens, focusing and slightly enlarging the image of the text on the newspaper, making it appear raised. This effect is due to the bending of light rays as they pass through the glass.
What happens when a ray shone at a glass block?
The white light splits into a spectrum.the original colors will appear. This is referred as REFRACTION.
How effective are solar panels when placed behind a window?
Solar panels are less effective when placed behind a window because the glass can block sunlight and reduce the amount of energy they can generate.
What makes a fish appear larger when placed in spherical fish bowl?
fish in tanks are magnified by the glass and the water.......... in my round fish bowl my guppies look huge
