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.
The light waves can be reflected, absorbed, they can pass the object or be refracted.,
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.

Basically three things can happen to light as it strikes an object. It can be reflected, absorbed, or it can pass through. For simplicity, assume the object is not transparent; in that case, any light that is not reflected is absorbed.
Waves bouncing off an object is called reflection.

Light. Quantum particles impeding on an object. Electromagnetic waves striking an object.
light waves have no mass so when it strikes an object it causes no vibration and therefore no sound
