What is the definition reflection?

Bouncing back of waves from a surface that it can’t pass through

The bending of waves as they enter a new medium

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

When two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction, two crests and two troughs overlap. Increased amplitude.

What is the definition of Refraction?

The bending of waves as they enter a new medium

When two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction, crest and trough overlap. Zero amplitude.

When two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction, two crests and two troughs overlap. Increased amplitude.

· Why can we hear around a corner but not see?

the smaller the opening the more diffraction, light waves are so small you will have little diffraction.

Increased amplitude of the light wave means brighter light

Decreased amplitude of the light wave means dimmer light

Refraction is when light__________.

Changes speed as it travels in different materials which causes bending.

Is bounced by an object or material.

When light speeds up to over 300,000 km/s
