What cause a wave to bend when traveling from one medium to another?

What might cause light to stop traveling in a straight line?
It might bend if it transfers from one medium to another, or when it hits another object. Hope this helps.
When do waves bend traveling through a medium?
The bending of a wave occurs when the wave hits a object?
Does light bend when it is traveling?
Yes,It bends when traveling from 1 media to another.
What must light do in order to bend?
It must pass though a medium from an another medium.
What causes a wave to bend and travel in a new direction when it moves from one medium to another?
Waves may bend if they move from one medium to another.
When a wave changes from one medium to another causing it to bend?
The velocity of the light wave differs in different media. This is the main cause for bending of light ray as it traversed from one medium to the other
Why does the light bends when traveling from one medium to another?
Everybody knows change in speed of light causes to bend light. But why does light bends towards normal when passing from rarer to denser and vice versa?
Why does light bend when it moves from one medium to another?
Light bends because of the difference of speed in each medium.
What is it called when waves bend while passing from one medium to another?
diffraction
When light rays enter a new medium at an angle what does the change in speed cause the ray to do?
The change in speed causes the light to bend. If it is travelling from an optically dencer to an optically rarer medium the ray will bend away from the normal. But if it is travelling from an optically rarer to an optically denser medium then it will bend towards the normal.
What can bend light?
change of medium causes light to bend
