The video tutorial explores how energy waves interact with different mediums and obstacles, leading to various behaviors such as absorption, reflection, refraction, diffraction, scattering, and interference. Each behavior is explained with examples, like black pavement absorbing light or a rainbow resulting from scattered sunlight. The tutorial also covers how waves can combine to increase amplitude, as seen in sound waves at a concert.

What happens to energy waves when they encounter a new medium?

Explain the process of absorption in the context of wave behavior.

Describe what occurs during the reflection of a wave.

What is refraction and how does it affect the speed and wavelength of a wave?

Define interference and provide an example of where it can be observed.
