What do you call waves that bend when changing mediums?
Waves are said to have been refracted when they bend upon changing mediums. The waves have undergone refraction when moving from one medium to another.
Light will bend as it does what?
Light bends, when it light travels at different speeds in different mediums. Hope that helps.
Can waves bend as they pass through a narrow opening?
Yes
What causes a wave to bend and travel in new direction when it moves from one medium to another?
The speed of the wave in the different mediums.
When waves move from one medium to another?
The particles compress and refract, passing along the energy. It travels faster in mediums with particles that are more tightly packed eg. moves faster in metal as opposed to wood. Also, the more dense the air, the faster sound waves travel.

What do earthquake waves have in common with other waves?
They bend when they go through different materials.
When do waves bend traveling through a medium?
The bending of a wave occurs when the wave hits a object?
When does light refrect or bend?
Light reflects or bendsbecause it moves into different mediums
Light will bend as it does what?
Light bends, when it light travels at different speeds in different mediums. Hope that helps.
Why does light bend when it is refracted?
Light bends when it is refracted because it goes through different mediums or substances and slows down. Because it slows down, the light doesn't go all the way through the medium so is in a different position.

What are two things that will make light bend?
Two of the things that can bend light waves are gravity and any type of refractive medium. For refractive mediums, the light travels from a less dense medium (like air) into a denser one (like water) such that its speed changes. Different substances have different indices of refraction. Bending of light by gravity is detectable on enormous areas like in space (eclipses, black holes, etc.)
