this process is called refraction and usually happens when light changes medium eg from air to water or into a prism :)

BENDING of light rays when they enter it diffirent medium is known as?
Refraction is the bending of light waves as they pass from one medium to another.
What is the bending of light rays called when changing from one medium to another?
Refraction
What refers to the bending of light waves when they pass through another substance?
Refraction is the bending of waves as they enter a different medium.
Which is the definition of refraction?
The bending of a light wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another
The bending of a wave as it passes an edge or an opening is called?
Diffraction. Bending of light/sound as it moves from one medium to another - Refraction.

What is going from one medium to another bends light called?
Refraction, which is the bending of light

Refraction
What happens to the direction of a light wave when it passes from a less dense medium such as air into a more medium such as glass?
The light bends when it passes from one medium to another. But only if it approaches the interface at an angle. In such a case it will still travel slower, but there will be no apparent bending.

Refraction causes light to do what?
Refraction is the bending of light when it passes from a dense medium to a differently dense medium. Light therefore finds it easier/more difficult to travel and the speed changes accordingly, which is why it bends.
How does a ray of light travel from air into glass without bending?
because i have diarhea
How the thickness of the atmosphere affects how light is bent?
when light travels from one medium to another it deviates from its normal path. the deviation is dependent on the refractive index of the medium. Bending of light ray also depends on the thickness of the medium. therefore more the thickness more is the deviation caused and more is the bending.
