Wave+Interactions

Wave Interference: When two waves meet or collide with one another whilst travelling with the exact same medium and when that happens the medium takes shape of the 'grouped' waves.

Wave reflection: The process of the return of all or part of a sound wave when it encounters a boundary between two media whilst abiding by the law of reflection.

Wave refraction: The process in which rays of light bend whilst passing through different mediums such as water or air, as for how much the light would bend that would solemnly depend on how dense the medium's are.

Wave diffraction: The change in the directions and intensities of a group of waves after passing by an obstacle or through an aperture whose size is approximately the same as the wavelength of the waves.
