When a toy car travels from a plain floor to the grass lawn we see that it deflects.Similarly light too bends when it changes its medium.This bending can be seen at the boundary of the two mediums that separates them.
The bending of one wave as it passes from one medium to another is refraction.
The phenomenon is referred to as refraction.
refraction
Refraction.
Refraction is the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another medium (like from air to glass). The basis for refraction is the speed of light is slightly different in the two mediums. Diffraction is the bending of light that occurs around a sharp edge (like light passing thru a slit). The basis for diffraction is the spreading out of the wave as it passes by the sharp edge.
Refraction occurs when a wave crosses a boundary from one medium to another. A wave entering a medium at an angle will change direction.Diffraction refers to the "bending of waves around an edge" of an object. Diffraction depends on the size of the object relative to the wavelength of the wave.bestfahadali@yahoo.com
this occurs when an object takes in light waves
Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another having different optical densities.
speed
The bending of a wave occurs when the wave hits a object?
When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of refraction.
Refraction occurs because waves move at different speeds in different bodies. Because a wave hits the other medium at an angle, part of the wave changes speed earlier than the rest, turning the waves. this is most obvious with light waves in water, but it happens with all types of waves in any change of medium.

Because the mediums are Traveling at different speeds.
In a single homogeneous medium (electrical properties constant throughout the medium), the speed of light is constant ... although less than its speed in vacuum ... and the light does not bend. Bending (refraction) only occurs at the boundary between different media in which the speeds are different, or in a single medium whose properties change gradually (like the atmosphere).
A physical change occurs.
this occurs when an object takes in light waves
the difference is transmission occur in same medium,but refraction occurs whn 2 medias are there,its actually bending of light at interface of 2 medias
shearing
A physical change occurs.
