The wavelength changes. Whether it increases or decreases
depends on the index of refraction of both materials.

What does light do when it travels from one material to another?
Refraction is what light does when it travels from one material to another. Refraction is when the light changes direction because it is passing through one medium to another.
The bending of light from one material to another is?
reflection or refraction
The bending of a wave when it moves from one material into another?
It is Refraction
The bending of light as it moves from one material to another?
It's called refraction, and the amount of bending is determined by the index of refraction.
What other objects can make refraction happen refraction happen?
Other than what??? Refraction will happen any time light passes from one material to another.

What happens when a light moves from a material with a lower index of refraction to another material with a higher index of refraction?
The ray of light bends towards the normal.

What is the bending of light from one medium to another?
It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.
When light passes from one material to another you may observe refraction?
Yes.
What is the name for light changing direction when it goes from one material to another?
