Which occurs when a wave is reflected?
It moves in a direction which is different from before it was reflected. Anything else depends on the wave and the reflecting surface.
What is standing waves electromagnetic theory?
When a traveling wave is reflected, the reflected wave and incident wave can add to porduce peaks and nodes at different distances along the path. These are measures of the EM wavelength.
What is the result of a reflected sound wave?
The result of a reflected sound wave is obviously an echo.
When a sound wave is reflected what do you hear?
When a sound wave is reflected, you hear an echo.
Is a reflected wave an incoming wave?
yes
Is 'echo' an example of a reflected wave?
Yes. A sound wave was sent from a source which made a noise, it hit some solid object and was reflected back to the hearer, who hears the echo some time after hearing the original noise.
Are reflected waves always inverted?
In many models of wave motion reflected waves are inverted. Some models have another mode.
How do you work out how a light wave will be reflected?
You apply the law of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The angles are measured between the rays and the normal at the point of incidence, which means the line at right angles to the surface at that point.
When an incoming wave combines with a reflected wave in such a way that the wave appears to be standing still the result is a?
When an incoming wave combines with a reflected wave in such a way that the combined wave appears to be standing still the result is a standing still wave.
When a wave strikes an obstacle part of the wave is reflected?
yes
What occurs when a wave is reflected?
The wave can flip upside down
When an incoming wave combines with a reflected wave in such a way that the combined wave appears to be standing still the result is a?
When an incoming wave combines with a reflected wave in such a way that the combined wave appears to be standing still the result is a standing still wave.
