Question
identifying wave interactions that change direction
which wave interaction results in a change in the direction of the wave as it passes through one medium to another medium?
absorption
diffraction
reflection
refraction
Brief Explanations
Absorption is when a wave's energy is taken in by a medium. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings. Reflection is when a wave bounces back from a surface. Refraction is the change in direction of a wave as it passes from one medium to another due to a change in speed.
