Refraction
Reflection is a change of the angle of light without a change of medium. Refraction is a change of the angle of light with a change of medium.
when a light ray passes from one medium to another at an angle
If the light is at an angle to the medium, then refraction (change of direction) and possibly reflection. If light travels at 90 degrees than maybe only slight reflection.
As light rays pass from one medium into another, they bend (or "refract"). This can be easily seen by trying to poke at something under water from above the surface (for example, aim a drinking straw at a target in a glass of water). This refraction is a consequence of the change in direction due to the wave-qualities of light, as the speed of the light is affected by the change of medium.

Reflection is a change of the angle of light without a change of medium. Refraction is a change of the angle of light with a change of medium.
when a light ray passes from one medium to another at an angle
The speed of light changes when it goes from one medium to another one with a different index of refraction. The angle of incidence doesn't influence the change in speed.
If the light is at an angle to the medium, then refraction (change of direction) and possibly reflection. If light travels at 90 degrees than maybe only slight reflection.
Yes, Light bends towards the normal when it travels from air to another medium and bends away when going into air from another medium. This can be affected by the angle of incidence and what angle it is.

Its velocity will change
The bending of a light wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another
This is total internal reflection where the angle of refraction is 90 degrees and its incident angle would be the critical angle(angle of incident for which the angle of refraction is 90).... This hapens when the angle of incidence is in a medium more dense than the angle of refraction's medium
The light rays will refract towards the normal of the medium and emerge out at the same angle.
Reflection-when light change the direction of motion within same medium. Refraction-change of direction when moving to another medium.
