The only characteristic that does change is its speed. As light passes through one medium to anoter, it refracts, or bends, causing it to change speed.

its either wavelength or frequency. Velocity changes! apstinky when u said light bends, speed changes. The question is asking for what characteristics DO NOT change!

frequency never changes.

The speed goes down, the wavelength goes up, via the equation v=f*lambda
