These videos show why many explanations of refraction are wrong.

I'll show that the accepted explanation in those videos are still inaccurate.

Is there anything in particular you're waiting for?

Nothing in particular. I was just occupied by other more urgent matters.
In video #1
from 7:06 mark, we get that amplitude of combined wave fluctuates, just like beat phenomenon. If the speed of first wave is very similar to the second wave, such as interface between vacuum and thin air, or glass and sunflower oil, we should receive low frequency beat. AFAIK, this is not observed in experiment.
from 8:20 mark, somehow the second wave changes the wavelength for no apparent reason. But curiously, the resultant wave have the same wavelength as the first wave.

In video#2
from marker 9:37 The explanation goes on to assume that the electric field is p-polarized (parallel to plane of incident. In this case, your monitor screen). It doesn't show how it works for s-polarized light (perpendicular to your monitor screen).

In my experiment using microwave, I can confirm that partial reflections by partial polarizers can produce phase shift of one polarization component over the other, which is shown by production of circularly polarized microwave from linearly polarized transmitter as the source. This indicates that one polarization component has changed its speed when travelling between those partial polarizers.
In the next video that I'm preparing, I'll show that speed change alone is not sufficient to produce change of direction. It is possible for light to change speed when passing through different media without changing its direction, even when the incoming angle is not 0.

My model can be thought as an extention to the working principle of antenna, which can be shown clearly here.
