What do you call waves that bend when changing mediums?
Waves are said to have been refracted when they bend upon changing mediums. The waves have undergone refraction when moving from one medium to another.
What is it called when waves bend while passing from one medium to another?
diffraction
Why do waves bend when they enter another medium?
entering a different medium, changes the speed of the wave, therefore the direction changes accordingly, called refraction, for example light entering glass prism from air, bends towards its normal, 'choosing a shorter path out of the prism, think of it as ur suffering from ur physics assignment n looking for a shortcut, u r the wave, being slowed down by a different medium, o, poor thing, good luck for ur assignm=ent
What will happen when two different medium of same refractive index?
The angle of incidence will equal the angle of refraction. If two medium have the same refractive index, light does not bend.
What causes a wave to bend and travel in a new direction when it moves from one medium to another?
Waves may bend if they move from one medium to another.

What causes light rays to bend when they enter a new medium at an angle?
Light rays bend when they enter a new medium at an angle because they either slow down or speed up. They speed up the most if they are in a vacuum.
What will happen when two different medium of same refractive index?
The angle of incidence will equal the angle of refraction. If two medium have the same refractive index, light does not bend.
When do waves bend traveling through a medium?
The bending of a wave occurs when the wave hits a object?
What causes a wave to bend and travel in a new direction when it moves from one medium to another?
Waves may bend if they move from one medium to another.
Why the ray of light does not bend when it passes perpendicularly from rarer medium to denser medium?
Since the angle of incidence is 0, there is no chance of refraction and so the angle of refraction too becomes 0.
What causes light rays to bend when they enter a new medium in a new angle?
when light rays enter a new medium in a new angle it may speed up or speed down
When light rays enter a new medium at an angle what does the change in speed cause the ray to do?
The change in speed causes the light to bend. If it is travelling from an optically dencer to an optically rarer medium the ray will bend away from the normal. But if it is travelling from an optically rarer to an optically denser medium then it will bend towards the normal.
When waves move from one medium to another?
The particles compress and refract, passing along the energy. It travels faster in mediums with particles that are more tightly packed eg. moves faster in metal as opposed to wood. Also, the more dense the air, the faster sound waves travel.
When light waves enter a new medium and bend what occurs?
When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of refraction.
