When a light wave enters into a medium of different optical density?
index of refraction ( or refractive index)
The bending of waves due to a change in speed is?
It is Refraction
When a wave changes its speed and wavelength to go into a different materials this is called?
refraction :)
What is the meaning of reflection and refraction?
Reflection is a change of the angle of light without a change of medium. Refraction is a change of the angle of light with a change of medium.
What is it called when a wave goes from one medium to another and it changes speed and direction?
The change in direction is called refraction.
What about the angle of refraction and its relationship to wavelength?
The steeper the refraction, the smaller the wavelength.
Does the angel of refraction depend on the wavelength?
Yes, the angle of refraction depend upon the wavelength.
What is rave faction Exaples?
Wave refraction to change in the wave speed or wavelength when a wave travels from one medium to another.
How is refraction of light related to wave length of colors?
The longer the wavelength, the greater the angle of refraction.
When a light wave enters into a medium of different optical density?
index of refraction ( or refractive index)
How does refraction change light?
What is Refraction?? What is Refraction??
The refraction of light in a diamond is greater for?
Short Wavelength light
Explain why all colours refract at different angles?
When a beam of light crosses the boundary between a vacuum and another medium, or between two different media, the wavelength of the light changes, but the frequency remains constant. If the beam of light is not orthogonal (or rather normal) to the boundary, the change in wavelength results in a change in the direction of the beam. This change of direction is known as refraction. Which basically means each color is on a Different "wavelength" which causes it to go in a slightly different angel after it hits a refraction-able object
An arc of colored light in the sky caused by refraction of the suns rays by rain?
Refraction of sunlight by raindrops, the refraction depending upon wavelength to produce the colors
The bending of waves due to a change in speed is?
It is Refraction
When a wave changes its speed and wavelength to go into a different materials this is called?

How or why does light enter water by a limited distance?
Light enter the water base on the principle of refraction of wave,during this process light moves from a denser medium to a less denser medium leading to the change in wavelength of the light That, however true, is not an answer to the question. (VanZanten)
