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.
