Answer:

Refraction

Step-by-step explanation:

The wave interaction shown is called refraction.

  • Refraction occurs when a wave crosses the boundary between two medium
  • In this process the ray becomes bent.
  • The density difference between the two medium accounts for the bending of the rays.
  • When a ray crosses the boundary from a less dense to a denser medium, it is deflected to the normal as the ray slows down.
