This is not exactly easy to understand. It can be explained by the fact that waves move slower in certain media - combined with the Huygens-Fresnel principle.

Do Light waves bend or refract at what between two media?
They bend at the interface between two media.
Does a laser light refract or bend?
Refract
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
Does red bends the most when the light rays bend?
No. The longer the wavelength the less the waves refract. Infrared bends even less.
When waves move from one medium to another?
The particles compress and refract, passing along the energy. It travels faster in mediums with particles that are more tightly packed eg. moves faster in metal as opposed to wood. Also, the more dense the air, the faster sound waves travel.

Where do light waves bend or refract between two medias?
That happens right at the "interface" or "boundary" ... the exact place where the two media meet, and it's a different one on each side of that point.
What causes light to refract when it hits a piece of glass?
the light rays hit the piece of glass and the surface of the glass causes it to refract
What happens to the light waves as they pass threw windows?
They refract
Can sound refract?
yes, sound is a wave. waves can be refracted.
What happens to light rays as they pass through transparent minerals?
They bend or refract
What will cause the laser light to bend as it enters a ice cube?
I will cause it to refract.
What waves bend?
Waves that bendm
