  • What is refraction?
     the change in direction of a wave, as it passes from one medium to another, and is caused by its change in speed.
  • Light travels more .......... in a more dense material

    slowly
  • Light travelling from a less dense material, into a more dense material, will bend ________ the normal.
    towards
  • When a wave travels into a more dense medium, the wave speed decreases.
    The frequency of the wave:
    stays the same
  • When a wave travels into a more dense medium, the wave speed decreases.
    The wavelength of the wave:
    decreases
