Bending of light due to change in speed?
This sounds like refraction.
The bending of waves around an object is due to?
diffraction
Bending of light due to a change in speed?
Refraction. Like when you put your hand in the pool and your fingers look stubby.
Is this the definition of refraction- the bending of a wave when it goes though earths mediums?
Yes, Refraction is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in speed. For example, a straw in water bends as it goes through the medium of the water, so it may go through any medium which speed changes.
What is the difference between waves bending due to refraction and diffraction?
Refraction is the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another medium (like from air to glass). The basis for refraction is the speed of light is slightly different in the two mediums. Diffraction is the bending of light that occurs around a sharp edge (like light passing thru a slit). The basis for diffraction is the spreading out of the wave as it passes by the sharp edge.
What is the bending of waves due to a change in speed called?
Doppler Effectits actually called refraction
What is the bending of light due to a change in its speed?

The bending of light because of it's change in velocity?
That's "refraction".Note:The bending of light is due to its change in speed.Bending alone would constitute a change in velocityeven if speed didn't change.
The bending of waves around an object is due to?
diffraction
If the bug in the demonstration moves forward does the speed of the waves change. What does change?
The speed of the wave stays same but the frequency change due to motion.
Bending of light due to a change in speed?
Refraction. Like when you put your hand in the pool and your fingers look stubby.
What are 3 ways that waves change direction?
Three ways that waves change direction are reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
What is difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
Mechanical Waves:1.Mechanical waves need a material medium for their propagation.2.These waves are produced due to the vibrations of the particles of the medium.3.They have low speed.Electromagnetic Waves:1.Electromagnetic waves do not need any material medium for their propagation.2.They are caused due to change in electric and magnetic fields.3.They have high speed.
