Question

which refers to the bending of a wave as it passes through one medium to another medium?
○ reflection
○ refraction
○ transmission
○ absorption

Explanation:

• Reflection: Involves waves bouncing off a surface, not bending when passing through media.
• Refraction: Defined as the bending of a wave as it travels from one medium to another (due to change in speed).
• Transmission: Refers to waves passing through a medium without significant bending (just moving through).
• Absorption: Involves waves being absorbed by a medium (energy transfer), not bending.

Answer:

B. refraction
