What is it called when a wave strikes an object and bends?
That is called refraction.
When light is bent as it travels through an object it is called?
Refraction
What does refraction do to an object?
it changes the direction of light
Is when light bends as it passes through an object?
Yes...supermassive blackholes are a good example.
What makes an object look wavy under water?

What is an image of a distance object caused by light refraction through air of varying temperature?
Mirage
What is it called when an object looks bent while standing in water?
It's called refraction.
What is light that is bent when it passes through an object called?
reFRACtion There isn't a good nmeonic or the like to remember the difference between refraction, reflection and diffraction. You just have to learn it.
What is light refraction used for?
Refraction of light allows for the change of appearance of an object
Why do distant objects ripple on a hot day?
Distance objects can be seen to "ripple" on a hot day because of refraction. As light from a distance object makes the trip to the observer, it passes through air of slightly varying densities. This causes it to "change course" to a degree, which is refraction. It is this thermally induced refraction that is responsible for the "ripple" we see, and for the mirage we sometimes hear about.
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 does refraction do to an object?
it changes the direction of light
Why does an object bend when put into water?
because of refraction , you see the object "bending"
