* Bending of Waves (Refraction): The amount a wave bends when it passes from one medium to another (like from air to water) depends on how much its speed changes. This is called refraction.

* Speed of Light and Sound: Light travels much faster than sound. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second, while the speed of sound in air is roughly 343 meters per second.

* Changes in Speed: When light enters a denser medium (like water), its speed slows down more dramatically than the speed of sound would. This greater change in speed for light leads to a more significant bending (refraction) of the light wave.

In summary: Because light travels much faster and its speed changes more dramatically when it enters a different medium, it bends (refracts) more easily than sound waves.
