Refraction. Like when you put your hand in the pool and your fingers look stubby.

Bending of light due to change in speed?
This sounds like refraction.
The bending of waves due to a change in speed is?
It is Refraction
What isThe bending of light as it travels from one medium to the next?
This is called refraction due to differences in the speed of light in the different mediums.
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
What is the difference between waves bending due to refraction and diffraction?
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.
Bending of light due to change in speed?
This sounds like refraction.
The bending of light because of it's change in velocity?
That's "refraction".Note:The bending of light is due to its change in speed.Bending alone would constitute a change in velocityeven if speed didn't change.
The bending of waves due to a change in speed is?
It is Refraction
What isThe bending of light as it travels from one medium to the next?
This is called refraction due to differences in the speed of light in the different mediums.
What is the bending of waves due to a change in speed called?
Doppler Effectits actually called refraction
What is The bending of light due to the great mass of distant galaxies?
The bending of light due to great masses is called Gravitational MicroLensing.
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
