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
When a wave reflects from a fixed boundary the only change in the wave is the direction of travel?
true
What is it called when s sesmic wave bounces backward when it reaches a boundary?
Reflection.
What happens to this wave as it reaches shore?
Since we don't know what "this wave" is, we cannot answer the question.
When a wave reflects from a fixed boundary the wave changes direction of travel and is slowed down True or false?
First statement: true Second statement: false
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 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

Reflection.
What is it called when seismic wave is bounced backwards when it reaches a boundary?
Answer: When a seismic wave 'bounces backward' and reaches a boundary, it is called Reflection. Explanation: The seismic waves are the result of the landslides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, explosions by humans

What happens when a wave on a rope strikes a free boundary?
Reflected but not inverted
