No
No, a wave does not refract when it enters a medium along the normal line. Refraction occurs when a wave enters a new medium at an angle, causing it to change speed and change direction. If the wave enters the medium along the normal line, it will continue in the same direction with no refraction.
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.
When light travels fast in a medium, it tends to bend away from the normal. This is known as refraction. Refraction occurs due to the change in speed of light as it moves from one medium to another, causing it to bend towards or away from the normal depending on the speed change.
No, when light travels along the normal, its direction will not change. The normal is the line perpendicular to a surface, so light traveling along it will continue to travel in a straight path, without any deflection.
Because the angle of refraction depends (among other things) on the difference between the angle of incidence and the normal. Therefore, if if the angle of incidence is equal to 90 degrees (normal), then the angle of refraction is zero. This is the reason why images, when viewed straight-on through a window, do not appear distorted. Or, think about it like this: If light was refracted when normally incident, which way would it refract?
No, the normal curve is not the meaning of the Normal distribution: it is one way of representing it.

When a ray of light travels from a low index of refraction to a high index of refraction, it bends towards the normal line. This bending of light is known as refraction. The change in speed of light causes the light ray to change direction at the boundary between the two materials.

-- Light approaches the boundary between any two media along the normal direction. -- Light approaches the boundary at any angle and the indexes of refraction of both media are equal.

When a wave travels from one medium to another with a different speed, it can change direction due to refraction. Refraction is the bending of a wave's path as it passes through different mediums at an angle, causing its speed to change. This change in speed causes the wave to bend towards or away from the normal line at the interface.
Light bends towards the normal when it enters a medium with a higher optical density because the speed of light is slower in that medium. This change in speed causes the light to change direction. The phenomenon is known as refraction.
The angle of refraction is measured between the refracted ray and the normal line (perpendicular line) to the surface of the material at the point of incidence.
A medium with a higher index of refraction, like diamond, is more dense than the medium with a lower index of refraction, like air. If the ray of light is moving from the less dense medium (lower index of refraction), to a more dense (higher index of refraction) the ray of light bends TOWARDS the normal.
