It's called refraction, and the amount of bending is determined by the index of refraction.

The bending of a wave when it moves from one material into another?
It is Refraction
The bending of a wave as it passes an edge or an opening is called?
Diffraction. Bending of light/sound as it moves from one medium to another - Refraction.
The bending of a wave as it moves from one medium to another.?
refraction
When trying to spear a fish in water a person needs to take into account the way light bends as it moves from water into air the bending of light as it passes from one medium into another is known as?
Refraction
What is a bending that occurs when a wave moves from one medium to another at an angle and changes speed?
When a toy car travels from a plain floor to the grass lawn we see that it deflects.Similarly light too bends when it changes its medium.This bending can be seen at the boundary of the two mediums that separates them.

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 happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is lower?
It moves at a slower speed!
What happens when a waves strikes an object and bends?
The bending of a wave as it moves from one medium into another is called refraction.
When an oceanic plate moves under another plate the bending of the sinking plate creates a?
this is a destructive plate boundary. An earthquake and a vocano is created
How is refraction from diffraction?
They both involve in like bending. There different because Refraction is the bending of a was as it enters a new medium and Diffraction is the bending of a was as it moves around an obstacle or passes through.
What are the two factors determine how easily water moves through a material?
Two Factors are the type of material. The best material water moves through is a partially permeable membrane. Another factor is the substances dissolved in the water and the substances inside the material. There can also be if there are pores that are connected.
When do you notice light bending?
Light refracts or bends when it leaves one medium and enters another one (i.e. when it goes from air to water; when it goes from glass to air). This is because the speed of light is different in different materials (light travels in a vacuum at a speed of 3 x 10^8 m/s and is slower in all other mediums). When light slows down (i.e. moves from air into water), the light bends towards the normal; when light speeds up (i.e. moves from water into air), the light bends away from the normal. light is never bent when travelling between media, only refracted. there is research into the bending of light around large objects in space and utilising the bending of electromagnetic waves to create invisible objects.
