The angle of incidence does not change. I think you want to know the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of transmission. In the case of from air to glas, the transmission angle is smaller than the angle of incidence due to a higher index of refraction of glass than that of air. Look up Snell's Law for better understanding.

What happens to light that moves from glass to air when its angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle?
It does not move from glass to air but undergoes internal refraction. That is, it is refracted back into the glass at the interface.
How does the angle of incidence compare with the angle of refraction when light passes obliquely from air to glass?
same problem dude..
When a ray of light passes from air to glass for what angle of incidence the ray will not be deviated?
Angle of incidence has to be 0. This means that the ray has to hit normally on the surface of separation of two media
How does the angle of refraction compare to the angle of incidence measured from the normal when going from air to water?
Angle of refraction will be less compared to the angle of incidence in this case.
A light ray goes from air into acrylic block is the angle of refraction larger or the angle of incidence?
The angle of refraction is larger. BOOBIES

When light passes from air into glass which angle is always bigger?
The angle of incidence is always greater than the angle of refraction. The refractive index of glass is greater than that of air, so the speed of light in air is more than the speed of light in glass. Therefore it slows down and bends towards the normal.

What happens when sunlight goes through glass?
Whenever electromagnetic radiation of any kind (light, heat, radio, gamma rays and microwaves are all examples of electromagnetic radiation) travels from one medium to another, the radiation will be refracted because the speed of light in each medium is different. When light travels from air into glass, the glass slows the light down, and the light refracts or "bends" toward the glass, depending on the angle of incidence. (The Angle of Incidence is the angle at which the light hits the glass. ) The amount of refraction (bending) also depends on the wavelength of the radiation, so when sunlight hits the glass at an angle, the glass breaks the "white" light into a rainbow of colors. This is the same thing that happens with a real rainbow, when light hits water droplets and is refracted and broken into different colors.

The angle of refraction is larger. BOOBIES
The point at which light rays meet?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
Light traveling from air into glass has an angle of 45 degrees The angle of refraction in the glass is most likely?
27.7 degrees if the glass is crown glass.
How is the critical angle related to the refractive index of a medium?
The refractive number of a substance is a measure of how much the speed of a wave changes compared to the speed in a reference medium i.e. air or a vacuum. The critical angle is the angle of incidence above which total internal reflection occurs. When the angle of incidence of the light ray leaving the glass is less than the critical angle, the light ray speeds up on leaving the glass and is refracted away from the normal.
How angle of incidence affect refractive index of a material?
The angle of refraction is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal (a perpindicular line to the tangent and the plane of the surface). A ray that enters at the normal angle leaves at the normal angle; there is no angle between the ray and the normal, so it is 0o.
