When waves move from one medium to another, they may undergo changes in speed and direction due to differences in the properties of the two mediums such as density and elasticity. This phenomenon is known as refraction. The amount of refraction depends on the angle at which the waves enter the new medium.
The speed of waves can change when they move from one medium to another. This change in speed occurs due to the difference in the medium's properties, such as density or elasticity, which affects how the waves travel through it.
No, waves do not transfer matter as they move through a medium. Instead, waves transfer energy from one point to another by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. The particles oscillate back and forth, but they do not permanently move from one location to another.
This is called refraction. It occurs when light waves change speed as they move from one medium to another, causing them to bend.
When waves change direction as they travel from one medium to another, it is called refraction. This bending of waves occurs due to a change in speed as the waves move from a medium with one density to a medium with a different density.
No, waves do not carry the medium from one place to another. Instead, waves transfer energy through a medium by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. The energy is passed along from particle to particle, but the particles themselves do not move from one place to another in the direction of the wave.

A series of ridges that move across the medium is called a wave. Waves can be of different types, such as mechanical waves like sound waves or electromagnetic waves like light waves, and they carry energy from one place to another without carrying matter.
The frequency of the waves does not change when they travel from one medium to another.
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.
Waves change direction when they encounter a change in medium or boundary that causes them to refract or reflect. Refraction occurs when waves change speed as they move from one medium to another, causing them to bend. Reflection occurs when waves bounce off a boundary, changing direction.

Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can propagate through vacuum since they do not require a medium for transmission. Sound waves, on the other hand, are mechanical waves that require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate because they rely on the particles in the medium to transfer energy from one point to another.
