If light is refracted, that means it is bent around a barrier. This property of light is due to its wave-particle duality, meaning it exhibits both wave and particle properties. Since light is a wave, it can bend around objects--similar to how a water wave can bend around a pier.

What is the difference between Sound Reflection and Sound Refraction?
refraction is where the soubd waves bend, reflection is when sound waves bounce off of things and change direction.
How does sound bend as in Sound Refraction?
The sound waves hit something and bend.
What are different types of sound wave interaction?
diffraction, reflection, refraction
What is difference between reflection and refraction of sound wave?
reflection - it bounces off a substance refraction - the course of movement is bent
What is called when a method of using sound instead of eyes?
refraction
What animals use light refraction?
bats and dolphins use sound refraction to hunt for food. the bat is blind so they have to use sound refraction.
What is the difference between Sound Reflection and Sound Refraction?
refraction is where the soubd waves bend, reflection is when sound waves bounce off of things and change direction.
How does sound bend as in Sound Refraction?
The sound waves hit something and bend.
How does the angle of incidence compared with the angle of refraction for sound?
For refraction, the general relationship is given by Snell's Law.
What is the phenomenon of stethoscope base on?
it is based on refraction of sound
Is refraction a property of sound light or both?
Both
Does refraction occur for both sound and light waves?
Refraction occurs for any waves, where there's a change in the medium.
What are different types of sound wave interaction?
diffraction, reflection, refraction
What is difference between reflection and refraction of sound wave?
reflection - it bounces off a substance refraction - the course of movement is bent
What is called when a method of using sound instead of eyes?
refraction
What is sound's version of a rainbow?
Rainbows are caused by the refraction of light through water droplets. The nature of sound does not relate to light refraction but perhaps an arpeggio or complementary chords would suffice.
What type of energy travels in a compression wave?
by refraction
