What is gravitational lensing?
Gravitational lensing is the bending of light around a massive object due to gravity.
The bending of waves due to a change in speed is?
It is Refraction
Why do some material objects look shiny?
Some object appears to be shiny due to the wave nature of light. The bending of light (as it passes an object) causes the object to appear shiny due to its reflection.
When electromagnetic energy travels from air into water the waves are bent due to the density differences between the air and water what is this bending called?
That is called "refraction".
Is diffraction the tightening of waves?
No.Diffraction is the change in the direction and intensity of a group of waves after passing an obstacle or passing through an aperture whose size is comparable to the wavelength of the waves.It can be observed in mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves as well as in matter waves.When a beam of light falls on the edge of an object, it bends slightly due to the contact and causes a blur at the edge of the shadow of the object. Waves of longer wavelengths are diffracted more than those of shorter wavelengths.
What is a superior mirage?
A superior mirage happens when an image (mirage) of an object appears above the actual object. This happens due to the bending of light waves.
What is lense?
Gravitational lensing is the bending of light around a massive object due to gravity.
What is gravitational lensing?
Gravitational lensing is the bending of light around a massive object due to gravity.
The bending of waves due to a change in speed is?
It is Refraction
When do waves bend traveling through a medium?
The bending of a wave occurs when the wave hits a object?
What is the bending of waves due to a change in speed called?
Doppler Effectits actually called refraction

That is called "refraction".
Is there no difference between diffraction and interference?
INTERFERENCE IS THE MODIFICATION IN THE DISRIBUTION OF LIGHT DUE TO THE SUPERPOSITION OF TWO OR MORE LIGHT WAVES DIFFRACTION IS THE BENDING OF LIGHT WAVES ACROSS THE EDGES OF AN OBSTACLE AND THEIR ENCROACHMENT INTO THEIR GEOMETRICAL SHADOW
What is The bending of light due to the great mass of distant galaxies?
The bending of light due to great masses is called Gravitational MicroLensing.
How sound waves aré produces?
Sound waves are produced due to the vibrations of an object .Sound waves are produced by vibration. Everything on this earth causes some sort of vibration. When something vibrates it produces a sound.
What is the bending of rock due to stress?
Folding
