Refracted Wavefront is the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves.
velocity can happen
A mirror has no effect on the speed of light, but it has a radical effect on thevelocity of the wavefront, because it reverses the direction of the normalcomponent of the velocity.
Acceleration is a change in speed or direction. Velocity is the speed and direction. ex. 41 mph northeast
Its speed, or direction, or both, change. That's called "acceleration".

Any change in speed or direction is a change in velocity. That's an acceleration,and it directly implies the presence of force, since it can't happen without force.

A force must be applied to that object according to Newton's First Law of Motion in order to change the speed and its direction.
It doesn't. For example, you can go in a straight line, and speed up or slow down, without changing direction. And if there is both a change in direction and a change in speed, the change of speed wouldn't be the CAUSE for a change in direction. (On the other hand, both can be caused by a force applied to an object.)
Yes, at high speed it takes longer to change your direction, for example.Yes, at high speed it takes longer to change your direction, for example.Yes, at high speed it takes longer to change your direction, for example.Yes, at high speed it takes longer to change your direction, for example.
A change in speed (and/or direction) is acceleration.
Not exactly. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.If either speed or direction changes, then the change is the object's 'acceleration'.
