What is it called when a wave changes direction as it passes from one substance to another at an angle?

It is called refraction. Refraction occurs due to the change in speed of the wave as it moves from one medium to another, causing the wave to bend.


What occurs when a substance moves from liquid to gas?

This change of phase is called vaporization and is a physical phenomenon; the chemical nature of the molecules was not changed.


What is a change in direction of a wave as it passes from one medium to another?

Refraction is the change in direction of a wave as it passes from one medium to another. This change occurs because the wave changes speed when it moves from one medium to another, causing it to bend.


Does frequncy of sound waves chance as it moves from on e substance to another if so what difference it makes for example from air to vacuum to water to solid materials?

The frequency of sound waves does not change in moving from one substance to another. Remember that vacuum is not a substance, but a lack of substance. Sound can't exist there.


What happens when a light ray moves from one substance to another?

When a light ray moves from one substance to another, it can undergo refraction, reflection, or absorption. Refraction occurs when the light ray changes speed and direction as it enters a new medium. Reflection happens when the light ray bounces off the surface between the two substances. Absorption occurs when the light ray is absorbed by the new medium.


Which refers to the change and wavelength that occurs when an object moves forward or away from the source?

Doppler effect refers to the change in wavelength and frequency that occurs when an object moves towards or away from a source of waves.


Occurs when the plasma membrane surrounds a large substance inside the cell and moves it outside the cell?

Where and when does diffusion occur?

Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient i.e. a substance moves from higher to lower concentration.


What occurs when the plasma membrane surround large substance inside the cell and moves it outside the cell?

exocytosis


Which refers to the change in wavelength tht occurs when an object moves toward or away from a source?

Doppler effect refers to the change in wavelength that occurs when an object moves toward or away from a source.


How heat move'?

Thermal energy that can move from one substance to another is called heat. Heat always moves from a warmer substance to a cooler one. An increase in temperature means that heat moves into a substance.


What is the name for a change in the direction of a wave when it pases from one medium into another?

The change in the direction of a wave when it moves from one medium to another is called refraction. This occurs because the wave changes speed as it enters a new medium with a different density, causing it to bend.
