Question

Wave hits an object as shown.

A vertical line with Medium 1 to the left and Medium 2 to the right. An arrow from the left reaches the line. An arrow starts from the same point on the line and goes right at a different angle.

Which kind of wave interaction is shown?

absorption
diffraction
refraction
reflection

Answer 1

absorption

diffraction

refraction

reflection

Explanation:

Answer 2

Refraction

Explanation:
