Question
the bending of a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle is:
reflection
refraction
absorption
interference
Brief Explanations
- Reflection is the bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface.
- Refraction is the bending of a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle due to a change in speed.
- Absorption is when a wave's energy is taken in by a medium.
- Interference is the interaction of two or more waves. So the bending of a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle is refraction.
