Answer:

A change in direction and wavelength

Explanation:

This phenomenon is called refraction: this occurs when a wave enters a new medium.

When this happens, the speed of the wave changes according to:

[tex]v=\frac{c}{n}[/tex]

where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and n is the index of refraction.

The frequency of the wave does not change when the wave enters the new medium, while the wavelength changes according to:

[tex]\lambda' = \frac{\lambda}{n}[/tex]

where [tex]\lambda[/tex] is the original wavelength and [tex]\lambda'[/tex] is the wavelength in the medium.

Also, the direction of the wave changes according to Snell's law:

[tex]n_i sin \theta_i = n_r sin \theta_r[/tex]

where

[tex]n_i[/tex] is the index of refraction of the first medium

[tex]n_r[/tex] is the index of refraction of the second medium

[tex]\theta_i[/tex] is the angle of incidence (measured with respect to the normal to the interface between the two mediums)

[tex]\theta_r[/tex] is the angle of refraction (measured with respect to the normal to the interface between the two mediums)
