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 happens when light waves get reflected?
The light waves bounce off the surface and travel in a new direction
Electromagnetic waves slow down or change direction?
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the acceleration of an electric charge. Electromagnetic waves have the same speed in a vacuum (or space). They can slow down and change direction.
How does absorption reflection and refraction change the movement of P waves?
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.
Refraction and what both involve the bending of waves?
Waves change direction through refraction, and through reflection.
What is it called when waves bounce off of a barrier?
reflection
What waves bounce off a barrier?
Waves rebounding from a barrier is an example of reflection (the physics term) or an echo. If you'd care to investigate further, there is a link below.

Which describes the change in the waves as it encounters the barrier?
Refraction.
Does diffraction occur when waves bounce around the edge of a barrier?
Yes, i am sorry if I'm wrong don't take my word for it
What are two things a wave can do when it encounters a barrier?
Hello, Well, When something hits a barrier it can either go through it or bounce off. Like a bullet. When you fire a bullet at a wall, if the wall is soft it would pass through and if it is too strong, the bullet would ricochet off the wall. For waves, they either pass into the barrier using the barrier as a medium or bounce off. Remember that when some waves that hit the barrier transfer, there would be always some who 'bounce back' The words I use are not entirely scientifically correct but you get the idea. Hope I Helped
Why is the ionosphere important for communication?
It is what radio waves bounce off of.
What are 3 ways that waves change direction?
Three ways that waves change direction are reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
How an echo is formed?
An echo is formed when sound waves hit a solid surface and bounce back in the direction they came from.
How does a change in speed cause a change in direction?
newton's
Electromagnetic waves slow down or change direction?
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the acceleration of an electric charge. Electromagnetic waves have the same speed in a vacuum (or space). They can slow down and change direction.
