a denser medium hav more no.of particles also > the no.of particles > the opposition provided for.....
therefore both wavelength and speed of light changes but frequency remains the same.

Why does a stick dipped in water appears to be bent?
Light bends when it passes at an angle into a medium of a different density. When light passes from a less dense medium into a denser medium, like from space into Earth's atmosphere or from air into water, it bends toward the normal, which is an imaginary line perpendicular to the boundary between the two media where the light passes through. Light passing from a denser medium to a less dense medium bends away from the normal.
What happends when a wave passes from less to a denser medium?
it speeds up
What happens when light passes through one medium to another?
the light bends
What passes through a medium?
energy is independent of medium it passes through?
When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a denser one most of the wave energy is?
When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a denser one, most of the wave energy is answer is reflected FALSE
What is emergent ray in refraction of light?
The emergent ray is the ray of light which passes through a denser medium(glass) to a rarer medium(air).
What happens when light scatters?
It is redirected as it passes through a medium.
What happens to light when it scatters?
It is redirected as it passes through a medium

What happens to particles in a medium when sound energy travels through it?
slows down in denser mediums & speeds up in less dense ones this explains why ur voice is so high pitched when u inhale a less dense gas like helium & why sound is deep & distorted underwater.
When the light passes through the second medium what happens to the wave that causes the light to bend?
When light passes through a second medium with different refractive index as the first medium, its velocity will decrease or increase depending on its wavelength and the difference in refractive index of the two media. This causes the 'bending' of light as each of its components try to travel through the second medium at different velocities.
What happens to light when it passes thought a different medium?
It bends.
