Why refraction of a wave occurs when the wave travels from one material into another?
The change in wave speed causes refraction sinv1/v1 = sinv2/v2.
How does the index of refraction affect frequency?
By the amount of time:)
Bending of light as it passes through water?
Yes, light bends as it enters water. This is known as refraction of light. It is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in it's speed. Water has an index of refraction of 1.333 and air has an index of refraction of 1.From Wikipedia:In optics, refraction occurs when light waves travel from a medium with a given refractive index to a medium with another. At the boundary between the media, the wave's phase velocity is altered, usually causing a change in direction. Its wavelength increases or decreases but its frequency remains constant. For example, a light ray will refract as it enters and leaves glass, assuming there is a change in refractive index. A ray traveling along the normal (perpendicular to the boundary) will change speed, but not direction.
The bending of waves due to a change in speed is?
It is Refraction
When does refraction happen?
Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another having different optical densities.
Which property of light ray does not change in refraction?
Frequency remains same.
Does refraction occur for both sound and light waves?
Refraction occurs for any waves, where there's a change in the medium.
Why refraction of a wave occurs when the wave travels from one material into another?
The change in wave speed causes refraction sinv1/v1 = sinv2/v2.
How does refraction change light?
What is Refraction?? What is Refraction??
What does light do when it enters a medium?
refraction occurs if the medium is water. or it bounces of a solid,my guess :D
How does the index of refraction affect frequency?
By the amount of time:)
The bending of waves due to a change in speed is?
It is Refraction
The number of times an allele occurs in a gene pool?
Think frequent. More of the allele in the populations gene pool and there is a change in the alleles frequency. Some goes for less of the allele.

What happens if the refraction angle is greater than ninety degrees?
This means no refraction occurs i.e. Total internal reflection (all light reflected) occurs
What is changed to cause refraction?
Refraction is a change in direction of a wave due to a change in its transmission medium.
When does refraction happen?
Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another having different optical densities.
