It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.

BENDING of light rays when they enter it diffirent medium is known as?
Refraction is the bending of light waves as they pass from one medium to another.
What is the bending of light rays called when changing from one medium to another?
Refraction
Which is the definition of refraction?
The bending of a light wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another
The bending of a wave as it passes an edge or an opening is called?
Diffraction. Bending of light/sound as it moves from one medium to another - Refraction.
What is the bending of light rays when they travel from one medium to another?
this process is called refraction and usually happens when light changes medium eg from air to water or into a prism :)

What is going from one medium to another bends light called?
Refraction, which is the bending of light

When a wave changes from one medium to another causing it to bend?
The velocity of the light wave differs in different media. This is the main cause for bending of light ray as it traversed from one medium to the other
How the thickness of the atmosphere affects how light is bent?
when light travels from one medium to another it deviates from its normal path. the deviation is dependent on the refractive index of the medium. Bending of light ray also depends on the thickness of the medium. therefore more the thickness more is the deviation caused and more is the bending.
Is reflection the bending of light?
No,its called refraction. this actually happens when the light passes from one medium to another and thus the velocity of light changes, which enable the light to bend.
Why are things not where they appear in water?
Because of the refraction of light. Light bends when it passes from one medium to another, this bending is called refraction not to be confused with reflection.
The bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another?
Refraction.
