definition of reflection of waves
Answers
Explanation:
Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. ... Reflection is observed with surface waves in bodies of water.
Explanation:
Reflection
When a wave is an incident on any surface, a part of the incident wave is reflected and a part is transmitted into the second medium. If the wave is incident obliquely on the boundary, the transmitted wave can also be termed as a reflected wave.
Here, the incident and the refracted waves obey Snell’s Law of refraction and the incident and the reflected waves obey the laws of reflection. The reflection of wave or a pulse can happen from two types of surfaces, it can either be a fixed wall or a ring, as shown in the image below.
