Hi,
Okay, to my understanding refraction of a wave occurs when a certain wave passes through two different mediums that vary in density, causing the wavelength of that certain wave to change--whether it elongates or shrinks. So am I misunderstanding something? Also, in my textbook it asserts that frequency and period do not change as a result refraction, how is that so?
