Where do light waves bend or refract between two medias?
That happens right at the "interface" or "boundary" ... the exact place where the two media meet, and it's a different one on each side of that point.
Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a concave mirror?
refracts light waves
What causes waves to refract or bend?
This is not exactly easy to understand. It can be explained by the fact that waves move slower in certain media - combined with the Huygens-Fresnel principle.
Does red bends the most when the light rays bend?
No. The longer the wavelength the less the waves refract. Infrared bends even less.
Which type of waves are combination of waves that occur at the boundary between two media?
surface waves

What happens to the light waves as they pass threw windows?
They refract
Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a concave mirror?
refracts light waves
One difference between reflection and refaction of light waves is the?
In reflection, the light waves travel within the same media and maintains the same speed but in refraction light waves travel through a different media and so their speed changes.

What travels in waves?
Mechanical waves such as sound and water waves.Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio, microwaves, x-rays.
Surface waves occur between?
Surface waves are waves that occur between two media (plural of medium).
Does red bends the most when the light rays bend?
No. The longer the wavelength the less the waves refract. Infrared bends even less.
What type of waves are combination waves that occurs at the boundary between two media?

surface waves
Light from the sun travels through space to earth's atmosphere. What will light waves do when they move from an empty space into matter made up of different gases?
slow down and refract
Can sound refract?
yes, sound is a wave. waves can be refracted.
