The change in direction of a propagating wave (light or sound) when passing from one medium to another a. Refraction c. Frequency b. Reflection d. Impulse
A
Refraction
B
Reflection
C
Frequency
D
Impulse
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This phenomenon of change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another is known as refraction.

Detailed explanation-2: -“Refraction is the change in the direction of a wave passing from one medium to another.” Refraction of light is one of the most commonly observed phenomena, but other waves like sound waves and water waves also experience refraction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Refraction is the change in the direction of light when it passes from one medium to another.

Detailed explanation-4: -Refraction is when light waves change direction as they pass from one medium to another. Light travels slower in air than in a vacuum, and even slower in water. As light travels into a different medium, the change in speed bends the light.

Detailed explanation-5: -Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another. Refraction, or bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves. So if the media (or its properties) are changed, the speed of the wave is changed.
