What do you think? Can you think of examples of other types of waves that would undergo refraction?

Also, is this question for your schoolwork?

LOL. You didn't answer my questions yet. We don't just give answers to questions like this here. First, you need to show some effort, and if this is for scholwork, it needs to be posted in the Homework Help forums, and you need to fill out the HH Template showing your work. :smile:
