refraction
The bending of a wave as it moves from one medium into another is called refraction.
When a wave strikes an object and bends around it, it is called diffraction. This phenomenon occurs when waves encounter an obstacle or aperture and spread out in different directions, resulting in the bending of the wave.

When a wave reaches the edge of an object, it can either undergo reflection, transmission, or diffraction. Reflection occurs when the wave bounces off the object, transmission happens when the wave passes through the object, and diffraction occurs when the wave bends around the object. These interactions depend on the properties of the wave and the object it encounters.
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.

it doesnt reflect but it stays on the object and only reflects enough so that the human eye can see it.
When a wave strikes an object and bounces off, it experiences reflection. The angle at which the wave hits the object is equal to the angle at which it bounces off, known as the law of reflection. The wave can either be absorbed by the object or reflected back, depending on the material and surface of the object.
When a wave strikes an object, it can bounce off or reflect off the surface of the object. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence, as described by the law of reflection.
