When a waves moves from a less dense medium to a denser one most of the wave energy is refracted?
reflected
What happens when a wave moves from one medium into another of different densities?
It refracts some and reflects some.
What is refracted light?
The refraction of light is the change in direction of a light ray when it crosses a boundary between two transparent substances. Refraction of light is the change in direction of a light ray due to a change in its speed as it goes from one medium to another.The speed and wavelength of a light ray change when this occurs, but the frequency remains the same.When light travels from denser medium to rarer medium it moves away from the normal [line at right angles to the boundary] and when light travels from rarer to denser it moves towards the normal.
What is the medium through which a water wave in the ocean moves?
The water. More precisely, the water-air surface.
What is a disturbance that moves through some type of matter or space?
a wave. Electromagnetic waves (such as light or radio waves) do not need a medium to travel through. Mechanical waves (such as sound waves) require a medium (matter) to travel through.
Is it true that sound moves faster in air that is 90 degrees Fahrenheit than in air that is 32 degrees Fahrenheit?
No. Sound moves faster in a denser medium and the colder the air is the denser it is.
When a waves moves from a less dense medium to a denser one most of the wave energy is refracted?
reflected
When a wave moves from a less dense medium to a denser one most of the wave energy is refracted.?
refracted False
Which front moves through an area faster why?
A cold front because it is more denser.
How or why does light enter water by a limited distance?
Light enter the water base on the principle of refraction of wave,during this process light moves from a denser medium to a less denser medium leading to the change in wavelength of the light That, however true, is not an answer to the question. (VanZanten)
What is transferrd as a wave moves through a medium?
Energy.
When a ray if light enters a glass block does it slow down or speed up?
Yes it does change.When it moves through air it moves with 299 792 458 meters per second! when it moves through glass it moves with about 150 000 000 meters per second.It slows it.

What happens when a waves strikes an object and bends?
The bending of a wave as it moves from one medium into another is called refraction.
What type of air mass is denser?
The cold air moves under the warm air because the former is denser. So Warm air is denser.
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
