How does absorption reflection and refraction change the movement of P waves?
Itzely
Absorption, reflection and refraction will all change of the movement of P waves. Absorption will reduce the energy of the waves. Reflection will bounce the waves back. Refraction will change the angle of the waves based on what they are bouncing off of.

What is the meaning of reflection and refraction?
Reflection is a change of the angle of light without a change of medium. Refraction is a change of the angle of light with a change of medium.
Refraction and what both involve the bending of waves?
Waves change direction through refraction, and through reflection.
What is the difference between Sound Reflection and Sound Refraction?
refraction is where the soubd waves bend, reflection is when sound waves bounce off of things and change direction.
An interaction of light with matter that causes light to change direction?
Reflection or refraction.
What is the name given to a change of direction of a ray of light?
'Refraction' and 'reflection' both change the direction of light.
What interaction of light with matter cause light to change?
Reflection, refraction, absorption.
What is the meaning of reflection and refraction?
Reflection is a change of the angle of light without a change of medium. Refraction is a change of the angle of light with a change of medium.
A wave changes directions when its speed changes This is called?
Reflection, or refraction, depending on what causes the change in direction.
Refraction and what both involve the bending of waves?
Waves change direction through refraction, and through reflection.
What is the difference between Sound Reflection and Sound Refraction?
refraction is where the soubd waves bend, reflection is when sound waves bounce off of things and change direction.
What are three ways waves change direction?
Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction
An interaction of light with matter that causes light to change direction?
Reflection or refraction.
What is the name given to a change of direction of a ray of light?
'Refraction' and 'reflection' both change the direction of light.
A lens makes the light change direction what is the change of direction called?
Scattering is an interaction of light with matter that causes light to change its energy, direction of motion, or both. so the plain answer is scattering the particles.
Why does no refraction occurs when the media have the same index of refraction?
Reflection happens only at the interface between two media, and two media with the same index of refraction act as if they were a single medium. Thus, at the interface between media with the same index of refraction, there is no reflection, and the ray keeps going straight. Continuing this line of thought, it is not surprising that we observe very little reflection at an interface between media with similar indices of refraction.
What are three ways that waves change directions?
Reflection, refraction, and diffraction. Reflection is most common, when we see ourselves in the mirror. Refraction is evident when you insert a straw into a clear liquid (7-up, for example) and see the straw bend at the surface apparently. Diffraction is when light passes through a slit or opening, an interference pattern appears much wider than the slit on the other side.
How would compare and contrast the reflection refraction and diffraction of water waves and sound waves?
they are all related to how waves change direction
