Answer:

wave changes its path from its initial direction so this phenomenon is known as Refraction of wave

Step-by-step explanation:

When wave travels from one medium to other medium the due to change in the speed of the wave propagation it deviates from its initial path.

The deviation of the wave from its initial path is known as refraction of wave

Here we can see that wave incident on medium 1 with some angle with the boundary

Then it enters into other medium and then travels in other direction

So here wave changes its path from its initial direction so this phenomenon is known as Refraction of wave
