It is only possible if light enters another medium with an angle other then 90.
WHen it does so then some part of light enters the medium first and it slows down first while the other part enter after a while and slows down later. This time gap .For much better understanding see... http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Tyzci1qTVL8

WHAT is the bending of light because of a change in speed called?
It is called refraction.
How is the index of refraction of a substance related to the speed of light in the substance?
The substance's index of refraction isSpeed of light in vacuum / Speed of light in the substance
Would refraction still occur if light did not change speed when passing from medium to another?
No
How is the index of refraction of s medium related to the speed of light inThe medium?
The index of refraction of a substance is(The speed of light in vacuum) divided by (the speed of light in the substance) .
If the index of refraction of a medium is 1.4 determine the speed of light in that medium?
Speed of light in air (which has an index of refraction of 1) is 3 * 10^8 m/s. So divide the speed of light by the index of refraction of the new medium to obtain the speed of light in that medium. Hope I helped!!
What is the bending of light due to change in its speed?
It is the refraction of light.
What is the bending of light due to the change in speed?
It is the refraction of light.
What is the bending of light due to a change in its speed?
Refraction.
What is a bending of light due to a change in its speed?
Refraction.
What cause refraction of light to happen?
This is caused by a change in the speed of light .
What is the bending of light rays caused by a change in speed of the light ray called?
Refraction
WHAT is the bending of light because of a change in speed called?
It is called refraction.
Bending of light due to change in speed?
This sounds like refraction.
When a light wave enters into a medium of different optical density?
index of refraction ( or refractive index)
How is the index of refraction of a substance related to the speed of light in the substance?
The substance's index of refraction isSpeed of light in vacuum / Speed of light in the substance
When does light undergo refraction?
light undergoes refraction when the matter changes the speed of light
Would refraction still occur if light did not change speed when passing from medium to another?
No
