If a wave undergoes refraction, what happens to its phase ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question "If a wave undergoes refraction, what happens to its phase?", we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step 1: Understand Refraction Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different. This change in speed causes the wave to change direction. **Hint:** Remember that refraction occurs due to the change in wave speed as it moves from one medium to another. ### Step 2: Analyze Wave Properties ...
