What is it called when a wave bends around an obstacle?
When a wave bends around an obstacle, it is called diffraction.
Diffraction occurs when waves around the edge of a barrier?
Diffraction is phenomena that occurs when a wave encounters an obstacle. This happens when a wave reaches an obstacle that is comparable in size to it.
What is it called when a wave curves or bends around a barrier?
I believe you are referring to Refraction.

What's the term for a change in direction of a wave when it encounters an obstacle or edge?
It is called as a reflection of a wave.
What is it called when a wave bends going from one medium to another?

What is diffraction of waves?
The apparent of wave through,around small obstacles and the spreading out of wave past small openings. When thinking of diffraction of a wave think of shining a flashlight around a corner. The light bends around the corner but there is a place where it is dark and the light does not hit. Diffraction of a wave is basically the wave bending around an object then dispersing out.
What is it called a seismic wave bends as it passes from liquid to solid rock?
refraction
