Answer:
B. changes speed
F. passes through the boundary
Explanation:
Only these two options are characteristics of a ray when it is refracted, but not when it is reflected. In fact:
Reflection occurs when a ray hits the interface between two mediums and bounces off back. When it is reflected, the ray changes direction, but does not change speed since it does not change medium.
Refraction occurs when a ray passes through the interface between two different mediums. When it is refracted, the ray changes direction, and it changes speed as well, since it changes medium.
Based on these definitions, we can say that only B. (changes speed) and F. (passes through the boundary) are properties of a refracted ray but NOT of a reflected ray. All the other choices are wrong because:
A. changes direction --> it is true for both reflection and refraction
C. does not change direction --> it is false
D. does not change speed --> it is false
E. bounces off the boundary --> it is true only for reflection
Answer:
B) Changes Speed
F) Passes through the boundary

I just did it right now on Edg22 and I got it correct :D
