How is refraction and reflection similar?
refraction and reflection are similar because *they both have to do with waves*
What do you called when the light bends as it enters a different medium the process is known as?
Refraction ~ look to related link below .
Is polarization similar to refraction interference or diffraction?
none of the above
Why does no refraction occurs when the media have the same index of refraction?
Reflection happens only at the interface between two media, and two media with the same index of refraction act as if they were a single medium. Thus, at the interface between media with the same index of refraction, there is no reflection, and the ray keeps going straight. Continuing this line of thought, it is not surprising that we observe very little reflection at an interface between media with similar indices of refraction.
Which part of a wave is the rarefaction?
Perhaps you are confusing with "refraction"? Refraction means that when a wave goes from one substance to another (for example, from air to water), it changes its direction. This is related with the index of refraction in the different substances, i.e., the wave has a different speed in the different substances.

How are refraction telescopes and reflecting telescopes similar?
they the same

What is the refraction of light in different medium?
the refraction of light in water medium is 1.0003,glass 1.5,etc.

When there is no refraction of light and why does it happen?
There will be refraction when light passes from one substance to the other (for example, from air to water), when the two substances have different indices of refraction, and when light passes the surface at an angle. In other cases, there is no refraction.
What are different types of sound wave interaction?
diffraction, reflection, refraction
When does refraction happen?
Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another having different optical densities.
What is the bending of waves as they pass into different material?
Refraction
Explain diffraction and refraction How are they similar?
They both cross the boundary from one medium to another.
