How does the speed of light that emerges from a pane of glass compare with the speed of light incident on the glass?

Those speeds are equal, even though the speed of the light
was temporarily less while it was inside the glass.

How does the average speed of light in glass compare with its speed in a vacuum?
3/4th
How does the average speed of light glass compare with its speed in a vacuum?
About 2/3 its speed in a vacuum.
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.
How does the speed of light in glass compare to the speed of light in a vacuum?
It will depend on the type of glass, and something called its refractive index. All materials have a refractive index which will effect the speed of the light through it. The speed of light through a vacuum is 3.0x10^8 m/s, and a material such as glass will be lower than this.
How does the angle of incidence compare with the angle of refraction when light passes obliquely from air to glass?
same problem dude..
Why does a light ray incident on a rectangular glass slab immersed in any medium emerges parallel to itself?
The glass slab is rectangular and both sides of the glass slab have the same medium. The light refracts in such a way that incident and emergent rays are parallel.
How does incident light emerge from a prism?
Incident light hits a prism, refracted or reflected light emerges from it. In what manner it is different from the incident light depends on the angle of incidence and the angles of the prism. Commonly it may be refracted, dispersed or reflected back.
What is the Fate of the in infrared light incident on glass?
Typically, the IR energy is absorbed by the glass as heat.
Why is the glass around the bulb so thin?
For Light to emit properly with out any incident of light happening the glass is kept thin and clear
How will you compare prism to raindrops?
Light is refracted and reflected by a (glass) prism Light is refracted and reflected by a raindrop

How does the speed of light compare in water glass and diamond?

How does the average speed of light glass compare with its speed in a vacuum?
About 2/3 its speed in a vacuum.
What is a glass slab?
it is a substance made of glass having 3 dimensions and is cuboid shaped. It does not deviate the light. This means that the incident and the emergent ray are parallel. The slab only produces lateral (sideways) shift or displacement.
What is the fate of the energy in visible light incident in glass?
Some of it reflects (bounces) back to the source. Some of it is absorbed into the glass, and never heard from again. The rest of it passes through the glass and continues on its way.
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.
Will there any difference between energy of trasmitted light from glass and incident light?
Yes, there is some reflected light lost at each interface, which will lower the intensity of the beam. The polarization may be affected too. Depending on the glass there might be a color shift.
