What's the term for a change in direction of a wave when it encounters an obstacle or edge?
It is called as a reflection of a wave.
What is the change of direction when a wave enters a different medium called?
Refraction
A change in direction of a wave resulting from its meeting an opaque is clled?
it's called reflection ...........
How does a change in speed cause a wave to change direction?
newton's
What is a change in the direction of a wave?
Reflection or deflection.
What's the term for a change in direction of a wave when it encounters an obstacle or edge?
It is called as a reflection of a wave.
When a wave finds an obstacle or edge what is its change in direction called?
diffraction
What is the change of direction when a wave enters a different medium called?
Refraction
What is it called when a wave suddenly changes directions it passes from one material to on other?
Refraction phenomenon Typically, the change in wave speed in the material causes the change in direction.
The change in direction of a wave as it changes speedmovingfrom one medium into another?
It is called refraction.
A change in direction of a wave resulting from its meeting an opaque is clled?
it's called reflection ...........
The bouncing back or change in direction of a wave after it hits a barrier?
"reflection"
What happens to the direction of the wave as it passes into the air?
The direction of the wave will eventually change to where the wind is blowing.
What is it called when waves change there speed when they go in to different matereals?
This is related to a change in direction. The change in direction is called refraction. The numbers that describe HOW MUCH the speed of the wave slows down is called "index of refraction", especially in the case of light waves.
What are 3 ways that waves change direction?
Three ways that waves change direction are reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
How does a change speed cause a wave to change direction?
newton's
How does a change in speed cause a wave to change direction?
