* Refraction occurs when a wave crosses a boundary from one medium to another. A wave entering a medium at an angle will change direction. * Diffraction refers to the "bending of waves around an edge" of an object. Diffraction depends on the size of the object relative to the wavelength of the wave. * Reflection:Waves can and do meet boundaries in their medium. When a wave meets a boundary, it can be reflected or transmitted. Reflection can be partial or complete. Reflection can also involve a phase flip (change of phase of 180 degrees.) * All these phenomena apply to electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, as well as to pressure waves and water waves.

What are two words that describe the bending of a wave ray?
Reflection and Refraction
How do you make a venndiagram of reflection refraction and difraction?
To create a Venn diagram to show the relationship between reflection, refraction, and diffraction, you can start by drawing three overlapping circles. Place reflection in one circle, refraction in another, and diffraction in the third. Where the circles overlap, you can show the instances where these phenomena can occur simultaneously, such as in the case of a prism splitting light into a spectrum (involving refraction and diffraction).
What is refraction diffraction and reflection?
Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings. Reflection is the bouncing back of waves when they encounter a boundary or surface that cannot pass through.
Is the result of diffraction refraction reflection interference or dispersion?
The result of diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or through small openings.

Can refraction interference reflection or diffraction be heard around a corner?
No, refraction, interference, reflection, and diffraction are phenomena related to the propagation of light and sound waves. Sound waves can diffract around corners, but the other effects typically apply to light waves.
What are different types of sound wave interaction?
Some types of sound wave interactions include reflection (when a sound wave strikes a surface and bounces back), absorption (when a material absorbs sound waves and reduces their intensity), diffraction (bending of sound waves around obstacles), and refraction (change in direction of sound waves as they pass through different mediums).
