Back

The bending of waves as they pass through openings or around corners.

Front

What is Reflection in wave behavior?

Back

The bouncing back of waves from a surface that it can’t pass through.

Front

What is Refraction?

Back

The bending of waves as they enter a new medium.

Front

What causes an echo?

Back

An echo is created when sound bounces off an object.

Front

What is Absorption in wave behavior?

Back

The process where waves are absorbed by a material and do not pass through.

Front

What happens during Diffraction?

Back

Waves bend around obstacles or spread out after passing through openings.

Front

What is the difference between Reflection and Refraction?

Back

Reflection is the bouncing back of waves, while refraction is the bending of waves as they enter a new medium.

Front

Can you give an example of Refraction?

Back

A straw appearing bent in a glass of water due to the bending of light.

Front

What is the principle behind sound waves creating an echo?

Back

Sound waves travel, hit a surface, and bounce back to the listener.
