The particles compress and refract, passing along the energy. It travels faster in mediums with particles that are more tightly packed eg. moves faster in metal as opposed to wood.
Also, the more dense the air, the faster sound waves travel.

Do waves transfer matter from one point to another as they move through a medium?
No
What causes a wave to bend and travel in a new direction when it moves from one medium to another?
Waves may bend if they move from one medium to another.
When waves travel from one point to another what is transferred through the medium?
When waves travel from one point to another energy is transferred through the medium. Waves are periodic vibrations or oscillations in a medium that propagate through the medium carrying energy in the form of the movement. Exceptions to this are light and gravity waves, which do not require a medium for propagation.
When light way pass from a medium to another they are?
When light waves are passed from one medium to another, they are . . . refracted. (Bent)
What happens when a wave move from one medium into another medium at an angle?
speed

The bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another?
Refraction.

What waves transfer from one place to another?
All waves can travel from one place to another as long as they have a medium to travel through. The only waves that do not need a medium are electromagnetic waves. When using the word "transfer" though. Waves transfer energy; waves themselves are not transfered they simply travel.
What is the bending of light waves as they pass from one medium to another?
refraction
What is The behavior of waves when waves pass from one medium to another?
If your talking about wavelengths, like in light, it might change depending on the medium it moves trough...
What happens when a wave move from one medium into another medium at an angle?
speed
What is it called when waves bend while passing from one medium to another?
diffraction
What property of light waves can be observed as light waves pass from one medium to another and change speed?
diffraction
What are the disturbances in waves?
The disturbances in waves are the ones that push the waves. This can be defined as a variation or oscillation that travels though a medium from one point to another.
