What causes the change in direction when light passes into glass?
REFRACTION
When a light beam passes through a medium the beam can change direction and appear to bend and the process is called what?
Refraction.
What is the name for a change in direction of a wave when it passes from one medium into another?
refraction
What is the name for a change in the direction of a wave when it passes one medium into another?
refraction
A lens makes the light change direction what is the change of direction called?
Scattering is an interaction of light with matter that causes light to change its energy, direction of motion, or both. so the plain answer is scattering the particles.
An interactiom of light with matter that causes light to change direction?
Refraction, when the light passes through matter and is bent, or reflection, when the light bounces off.
What is it called when the speed and direction of light changes as it passes through different media?
its called refraction
What happens to light waves when they pass through a window?

Why ray does not refract when it passes through optical centre?
It does. But when the ray arrives perpendicular to the boundary, the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction are both zero, so its direction doesn't change.
What is it called when a wave suddenly changes directions it passes from one material to on other?
Refraction phenomenon Typically, the change in wave speed in the material causes the change in direction.
What is refraction ray?
A refracted ray passes through the medium, at a different angle to the normal than the incident ray. by Ronan Lavery
What is it called when a wave changes direction as it passes from one substance into another at an angle?
Refraction
