Light bends because of the difference of speed in each medium.
It refracts some and reflects some.
If your talking about wavelengths, like in light, it might change depending on the medium it moves trough...
when light rays mave from one medium to another such as from air to water
The speed changes. (and sometimes the angle.)
Light bends because of the difference of speed in each medium.
Its speed changes but its frequency remains the same.

The bending of a wave as it moves from one medium into another is called refraction.

it will not bend if the two media have the same index of refraction.
Diffraction. Bending of light/sound as it moves from one medium to another - Refraction.
When you have two different medias but with the same refractive index, light does not refract (bend).
