Q

How reflection works?

A

The bouncing back of a wave after it strinks a barrier

16
Q

Wich are examples of reflection?

A

Eco,sound, mirror

17
Q

How works refraction?

A

Its the bending of a wave as it enters to a new medium at an angle other than 90

18
Q

Why refraction occurs?

A

Because waves travel at different speed a at different meduims./ And when one side of the wave slows or speed up it cause the wave to bend.

19
Q

How diffraction works?

A

The spreading of waves through an opening or a round The edge of an obstacle.
