What happens to the speed of light as it passes into a glass block?

It slows down. The reason for this is because when the light travels through the air, it is at it’s maximum speed. When it passes through the glass block, it slows down because the medium is denser than air. This also causes refraction.

The speed would reduce as glass is denser than air.

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^
