What happens when a wave bounces back after it hits a boundary?
that depends on the boundary if it is a fixed or hard boundary, there is zero displacement and the reflected wave changes its polarity , i.e. it undergoes 180 deg phase change if it is a flexible or soft boundary, the restoring force is zero and the reflected wave has the same polarity in other words there is no change in phase
What happens to an electromagnetic wave when if hits a transparent obstacle?
The wave will pass through the transperent object
What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength 600nm?
It's the (speed of the wave)/(600 nm) If it happens to be an electromagnetic wave in free space, then the frequency is about 500,000 Gigahertz.
What happens when a sound wave hits a small thin membrane?
The membrane (such as you eardrum) vibrates.
When a wave reflects from a fixed boundary the only change in the wave is the direction of travel?
true
What happens when a wave on a rope strikes a free boundary?
Reflected but not inverted

What happens to the angle of the wave if it hits the perspex at 90 degrees?
It does not change.
What happens when a plate boundary collides with a new plate boundary?
It creates a violent wave through the earth and when it reaches the surface it causes the ground to shake also known as an earth quake

true
What is a wave that occurs at the boundary between two media when transverse and longitudinal waves combine?
megnetic wave and or a surface wave
What is it called when a selsmic wave bounces backward when it reaches a boundary?
Reflection occurs when seismic wave bounces backward as it reaches a boundary. It refers to the change in direction of a wave front at an interface between two different media.
What happens if you wave at the northern lights?
Nothing happens if you wave at them.
