transverse wave
sur-wave
The bouncing of a sound wave off a surface may result in an echo being heard.
When the angle of incidence equals the critical angle, there is no refraction wave as we usually understand it. The result is a surface wave. Let us suppose we are asking about light incident on a flat interface between to mediums which are transparent (nonabsorbing). The formula for the angle of refraction says the angle of refraction approaches 90 degrees, so the direction the wave would be traveling would be parallel to the interface. The same formulas in electromagnetic theory will also predict that the energy transmitted across the surface decreases to zero as the angle of incidence increases towards the critical angle. That is the equivalent to the more common statement that there is total internal refection. Advanced mathematical treatments of this topic show that the electromagnetic field does exist on the transmission side of the interface and that energy is flowing parallel to the interface in that region. That is the surface wave. The energy in the surface wave decays exponentially with distance from the interface into the transmission region.
Constructive interference occurs when amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a larger amplitude.If a wave with a smaller amplitude is produced, destructive interference has occurred.
secondary waves or otherwise known as s-waves
it occurs at the boundary of two different mediums, such as air and water.
It occurs when a wave which is incident on a surface changes direction.
Because the mediums are Traveling at different speeds.
medium is a ssoouunnd wave
Ocean waves are NOT mediums of any sort.
megnetic wave and or a surface wave
Either Longitudinal, transverse, or a surface wave.
The bending of a wave occurs when the wave hits a object?
Refraction occurs when a wave bends as it crosses the boundary between different mediums (eg. air to glass). The wave bends because waves travel at different speeds in different mediums. When a wave enters a more dense medium (eg. air to glass), the wave slows down, and bends towards the 'normal'. When a wave enters a less dense medium (eg. glass to air), the wave speeds up, and bends away from the 'normal'. * The normal is an imaginary line which is perpendicular to where the light is entering the new medium.
This occurs when transverse waves and longitudinal waves combine!
bounces off a surface it cannot pass through
It moves in a direction which is different from before it was reflected. Anything else depends on the wave and the reflecting surface.
