When waves encounter an obstacle, they can reflect, refract, or diffract. Reflection occurs when waves bounce back upon hitting the obstacle, while refraction happens when waves change direction as they pass through the obstacle. Diffraction involves waves bending around the obstacle and spreading out.
What else can I help you with?
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
What are examples of longitudinal waves?
Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, seismic waves, and sound waves in solids (such as ultrasound waves). These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of wave motion.
Kind of wave released during an wave?
During an earthquake, seismic waves are released. These waves travel through the Earth and can be detected by seismographs. The main types of seismic waves are P-waves (primary waves), S-waves (secondary waves), and surface waves.
What are the 3 types of waves?
P-waves (Primary Waves) -- Body WaveS-waves (Secondary Waves) -- Body WaveSurface Waves (Rayleigh and Love)The 3 types of seismic waves are P waves, S waves and surface waves.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
What is the waves?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves
The 3 types of seismic waves are what?
P-waves (Primary Waves) -- Body WaveS-waves (Secondary Waves) -- Body WaveSurface Waves (Rayleigh and Love)The 3 types of seismic waves are P waves, S waves and surface waves.
What 2 waves are surface waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
What waves start with the letter S?
Some answers:Sea waves.Sigmoid waves,Sine waves,Soliton waves,Sound waves,Standing waves,Stationary waves.
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are the 5 main waves in science?
Magnetic waves electromagnetic waves wind waves surface waves capillary waves
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
