Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refraction is the bending of a wave as it passes at an angle from one to medium to another. When a wave moves from one medium to another, the wave's speed changes. When a wave enters a new medium at an angle, the part of the wave that enters first begins traveling at a different speed from the rest of the wave.
