It depends whether the new medium is "heavier" or "lighter" than the previous medium. If it is "heavier" then the wave slows down. If it is "lighter" the wave speeds up.
When light goes through a single medium, it continues in a straight line but may change speed depending on the properties of the medium. The speed change may cause the light to bend or refract.
When a wave goes from one medium to another, its speed and direction may change due to differences in the medium's properties such as density and elasticity. The wave may also experience reflection, refraction, or absorption at the boundary between the two mediums.
When light goes from a less dense to a more dense medium, it slows down and changes direction. This change in speed and direction is known as refraction. Refraction occurs because the speed of light is different in different mediums, causing the light waves to bend as they enter the more dense medium.
It is called refraction. Refraction occurs when a wave changes speed and direction as it travels from one medium to another, due to the change in its wave velocity and the change in the medium's optical density.
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.
The speed of light changes when it goes from one medium to another one with a different index of refraction. The angle of incidence doesn't influence the change in speed.

Yes.
Speed goes up as temperature goes up.
The speed of light is not affected by the density of the medium. Its the path of the light that is affected . Phenomenon like reflection or refraction take place when the light goes to different medium
It is called refraction. Refraction occurs when a wave changes speed and direction as it travels from one medium to another, due to the change in its wave velocity and the change in the medium's optical density.
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.
When light goes through any medium other than a vacuum, its speed is normally slower than in a vacuum.
The phenomenon you are referring to is called refraction. It occurs when light travels from one medium, such as air, to another medium, like water or glass, causing the light to change speed and bend.
The frequency of light remains constant as it changes medium from air to water. However, the speed and wavelength of light will change, causing it to bend or refract.
