When a wave is coming toward a surface, it is called an incident wave.
surface wave
When a wave bounces off a surface, the interaction is called "reflection."
When a wave's energy is lost to a surface, resulting in the wave becoming weaker, it is called wave absorption or wave attenuation. This can occur when the wave interacts with the surface material and causes it to dissipate or absorb the energy of the wave.
When a sound wave bounces off a surface, it is called an echo.
When a wave's energy is lost to the surface, it is called wave damping. This typically occurs due to friction between the wave and the surface it is traveling on, causing a gradual decrease in the wave's energy.

The bouncing of light off a surface is called reflection. When a light wave is bent it is called refraction.

The foam at the top of a wave is called 'spume'
The comparison is between fear and tidal wave.
