yes, sound is a wave. waves can be refracted.
refracts light waves
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.
This is not exactly easy to understand. It can be explained by the fact that waves move slower in certain media - combined with the Huygens-Fresnel principle.
They bend at the interface between two media.
They refract

By the way earthquake waves refract as they pass through it.
sunlight blocks out S waves in certain regions.
When sound originate in the water, the sound waves tend to refract down, toward the cooler water.

The purpose of the slinky lab is to see how waves reflect, refract, and lose and gain energy.
They bend at the interface between two media.
They bend or refract
The particles compress and refract, passing along the energy. It travels faster in mediums with particles that are more tightly packed eg. moves faster in metal as opposed to wood. Also, the more dense the air, the faster sound waves travel.
