Resonance
Since glass is not very flexible, it can shatter if a singer produces a note with the same natural frequency as the glass. What type of wave interaction does this example represent?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
The wave interaction that occurs inside a material is called bulk wave interaction. This type of interaction involves the propagation of waves through the volume of a material, rather than just along its surface or boundaries. Examples of bulk waves include sound waves in a solid and seismic waves traveling through the Earth.
transverse= rope longitudinal= spring surface= water & air
When a wave bounces off a surface, the interaction is called "reflection."
An example of the other type of wave is a sound wave, which is a mechanical wave that travels through a medium, such as air or water, by causing the molecules in the medium to vibrate. Sound waves are produced by vibrating objects and are detected by the human ear.
An example of a transverse wave is a wave on a string when it is plucked or shaken. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular (sideways) to the direction of the wave propagation. This causes crests and troughs to form as the wave travels along the medium.
Reflection and absorption...most likely a combination of the two. In reflection the wave bounces back off the barrier and, depending on the incident wave and how it matches in phase with the reflected wave, the reflected wave could be enhanced through constructive interference with the incident wave or degraded through destructive interference. In absorption, the energy from the incident wave is taken into the barrier material. This typically causes the barrier to vibrate indicating the energy it absorbed. A barrier is more likely to absorb the energy when its natural frequency is some harmonic of the incident wave.

sine wave. It is a smooth, repetitive oscillation that is easy to represent graphically as a simple curve. Sine waves have a clear pattern that is easy to predict and visualize.
A longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. Sound waves in air are an example of longitudinal waves.
