Answer:

Absorption

Step-by-step explanation:

A non-transmitting barrier would not allow a wave to go through. When a wave is unable to pass through a barrier, it is not transmitted and can get absorbed or reflected back. The wave can also try to go round the barrier.

Most likely, the wave gets absorbed by the barrier and it stops it.
