greetings,
how does light travel through the glass?
advanced thanks

Light travels through glass by interacting with the atoms and molecules of the glass material. When light hits the glass, some of it is absorbed and converted into heat energy, while the rest is transmitted through the material.
Light travels faster through glass than air because the atoms and molecules in glass are more tightly packed than those in air, allowing light to move more quickly through the material.
Yes, light can travel through all types of glass, as long as the glass is transparent or translucent. Different types of glass, such as optical glass or stained glass, may affect the way light travels through it, but it is still able to pass through.
Yes, the thickness of the glass can affect how light travels through it. Thicker glass will absorb more light and allow less to pass through, while thinner glass will allow more light to pass through.
Light changes direction when traveling through glass due to a phenomenon called refraction. When light enters a new material, it changes speed, causing it to bend or refract. The amount of refraction depends on the properties of the material, such as its density and composition.
