Why do waves bend?

• Because they are changing into a different type of wave

• Because their speed is changing

• Because they stop

• Because they run into another wave.

A ray of light traveling through the air strikes the surface of a glass block and is refracted. The diagram shows four different paths, W-Z, for the refracted light.

Which path will the ray of light take?

• W

• X

• Y

• Z
