When light moves from one medium to another it can be Refraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Refraction is the term used to define light movement travelling from one medium to another. Light waves are propagated, will cross the boundary and their direction is also changed during the process of refraction.

Velocity is also induced in the light which keeps changing during its propagation through mediums. There are other phenomenons of light like reflection, interference, diffraction which are slightly different from each other and hence proper understanding is required to differentiate between them.
