What is the change in speed called when light travels through different mediums?
It is simply called a change in speed.
What happens to light as it passes through different mediums?
Its speed and wavelength change.
Where can one contact different mediums?
Contacting mediums can be done by looking online for mediums to find their contact information. Different mediums are in different areas, so it depends on the person searching.
What causes a wave to bend and travel in new direction when it moves from one medium to another?
The speed of the wave in the different mediums.
Does the same wave travel at different speeds in different mediums?
Short Answer:The speed of a wave depends very much on the type of the wave and the medium though which it moves.More:Sound waves in air, water waves in the ocean and light waves in space are waves different waves in different mediums and with vastly different speeds. Each of these types of waves changes speed dramatically in different media. Ripples move at a different speed than ocean waves. Light in glass travels at about two thirds of the speed of light in a vacuum and sound waves in metal are much faster than sound waves in air. Another good example is waves from an earthquake, which occur in two different forms and which are regularly experienced as separate shocks from an earthquake.
Refraction occurs when the speed of light changes as it travels between mediums True or false?
True

Relate the speed of sound to different mediums?
The denser the medium, the faster sound travels in it.
How does the speed of sound of change for mediums of different densities compressibilities and temperature?
The speed of sound of change for mediums of different densities compressibilities and temperature because different densities give different resistance to the sound. It blacks more of ht sound the denser the object is,, and give more when the object is less dense.
What is the rate of slowing of the speed of light?
The speed of light, c is greatest in a "vacuum" and is slowed when passing through transparent mediums such as water, glass and crystals. Different mediums reduce the rate of c differently, depending on a number of factors.
Where can one contact different mediums?
Contacting mediums can be done by looking online for mediums to find their contact information. Different mediums are in different areas, so it depends on the person searching.
Why doesn't light always travel at exactly the same speed?
The speed of light in a vacuum is constant, it's value is c. However c changes with different mediums (air, water...etc). It depends on the index of refraction, n. For example, here is how you would calculate the speed of light in air: vair= c/nair In other words, the speed of light changes depending on the medium that it travels through.

The speed of sound varies when?
sound travels faster or slower depending on the medium it is moving through and the temperature of the medium :]
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.
