Question

this image shows:
a. reflection
b. refraction
c. transverse wave
d. absorption

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a wave (such as light or water wave) passes from one medium to another and bends. In the image, the wave appears to change direction as it moves, which is characteristic of refraction. Reflection would involve the wave bouncing back. A transverse wave is a type of wave (like light wave, where particle motion is perpendicular to wave direction) but the question is about the phenomenon (refraction here). Absorption is when a medium takes in the wave's energy.

Answer:

b. refraction
