Question

match each wave interaction to the correct description. refraction transmission absorption diffraction reflection bending of a wave as it passes through mediums taking in of a wave by an object as the wave hits it bending and scattering of a wave as it hits an object or opening passing of a wave through an object bouncing of a wave after it hits an object

Explanation:

• Refraction is the bending of a wave as it passes through mediums.
• Transmission is the passing of a wave through an object.
• Absorption is the taking in of a wave by an object as the wave hits it.
• Diffraction is the bending and scattering of a wave as it hits an object or opening.
• Reflection is the bouncing of a wave after it hits an object.

Answer:

refraction - bending of a wave as it passes through mediums
transmission - passing of a wave through an object
absorption - taking in of a wave by an object as the wave hits it
diffraction - bending and scattering of a wave as it hits an object or opening
reflection - bouncing of a wave after it hits an object
