Which is true about reflection?
The angle of incidence is bigger than the angle of reflection.
The angle of incidence is smaller than the angle of reflection
The angle of incidence = the angle of reflection
Fig. shows a view from above of waves on the surface of water in a water tank. The wavefront AB is travelling in region P towards region Q, where the water is shallower and the waves travel more slowly. Some time later, the wavefront has moved into region Q.
Which is the correct new position of the wavefront?
CD
CE
CF
None of the above
