Which is a Longitudinal Wave?
How are Electromagnetic waves different from Mechanical waves?
EM waves have very short wavelengths
EM waves transmit energy instead of matter
EM waves can travel through the vacuum of space (without particles)
EM waves can change direction by reflection
A short wavelength is equal to
a low frequency
slow wave speed.
a high frequency
I do not know and do not wish to answer.
What is the definition reflection?
The bending of waves as they enter a new medium
Bouncing back of waves from a surface that it can’t pass through
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.
