• Absorption

• Diffraction

• Transmission

When a wave bounces off a surface or medium it is called

• Reflection

• Absorption

• Diffraction

• Transmission

Why do the waves bend during refraction?

• The waves are heavier

• The waves are lighter

• Speed changes the movement

• They change form and become round
