Do Light waves bend or refract at what between two media?
They bend at the interface between two media.
When a wave bends as it passes from one medium to another what occurs?
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave when it reaches a boundary between two media due to traveling at different speeds in each medium.
Where do light waves bend or refract between two medias?
That happens right at the "interface" or "boundary" ... the exact place where the two media meet, and it's a different one on each side of that point.
Which type of waves are combination of waves that occur at the boundary between two media?
surface waves
When a wave approaches a boundary between two media obliquely does its direction of motion change or remains the same?
The direction of the wave changes if its speed is different in the two media.
What is it called when a selsmic wave bounces backward when it reaches a boundary?
Reflection occurs when seismic wave bounces backward as it reaches a boundary. It refers to the change in direction of a wave front at an interface between two different media.

Refraction is the change in direction of a wave when it reaches a boundary between two media due to traveling at different speeds in each medium.
A disturbance at the boundary between two media?
surface wave
What happens to light when it strikes the boundary of the two media an angle equal to the critical angle?
It gets refracted so that its direction of propagation is the boundary line.
When a wave strikes a boundary between two media occur?
I, II, and III <3
