transmission
yes, sound is a wave. waves can be refracted.
A direct wave is a radio wave that travels directly through space without getting refracted by the ionosphere. In other words, it travels straight to the receiving antenna without being refracted.
The light acts as a wave, and the wave accelerates differentially at the border.
When a wave moves from a less dense medium to a denser one, it undergoes refraction due to the change in speed caused by the difference in the two mediums’ densities. This results in most of the wave energy being transmitted into the denser medium, causing the wave to change direction.
When a wave is refracted, it changes direction as it passes from one medium to another due to a change in its speed. This bending of the wave is caused by the wave entering the new medium at an angle other than perpendicular to the boundary between the two mediums.
When a light wave is refracted, it bends as it passes from one medium to another with a different optical density. The speed of light changes as it enters the new medium, causing the wave to change direction. This bending is due to a change in the wave's velocity.
Primary Waves(P-Waves)
refracted False
The phase difference between the reflected and refracted waves is π radians (180 degrees). This means that the two waves are in opposite phases when they interact with the glass plate.
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave.
reflection
To determine the maximum depth at which a wave will not be refracted, we can use the rule of thumb that the water depth should be at least half the wavelength. If the wavelength is ( \lambda ) meters, the critical depth for minimal refraction would be ( \lambda / 2 ) meters. Therefore, a wave will not be refracted in water with a depth greater than ( \lambda / 2 ) meters.
