How does a wave change direcyion when it bounces off a surface?
When a wave hits a surface, it reflects off the surface in a different direction from its original path. The angle of incidence (the angle between the incoming wave and the surface) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle between the reflected wave and the surface). This phenomenon is known as the law of reflection.
What happens when light waves get reflected?
When light waves are reflected, they bounce back off a surface in a different direction. The angle at which the light approaches the surface (incident angle) will be equal to the angle at which it reflects off the surface (angle of reflection), according to the law of reflection. Mirror-like surfaces reflect light waves in a predictable manner, allowing us to see our reflection.
When a beam of light strikes a rough surface it reflects at?
It reflects randomly, termed by physics "irregular reflection" or "diffused reflection."
What happens when sound reflects and refract?
When sound reflects, it bounces off a surface in a specific angle in a process called "echo." When sound refracts, it changes speed and direction as it passes through mediums of different densities, such as air and water. Both processes can alter the intensity and quality of the sound being transmitted.
What happens to the direction of light in which it travels during reflection?
During reflection, the direction of light reverses. If light was traveling towards a reflective surface at a certain angle, it will bounce off the surface at an equal angle but in the opposite direction.

What do we call it when we change the direction light is moving?
Reflection: When light is bounced back off a surface in different or same direction Deflection: When light goes through a surface but its direction has changed from before it hit the surface
How does light reflect the earth?
Light reflects off the Earth's surface because it is made up of various materials that have different reflective properties. When light hits the Earth, some of it is absorbed by the surface, while the rest is reflected back towards the source or in a different direction. The amount of light reflected depends on the angle of incidence, the nature of the surface, and the wavelength of the light.

Why does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?
It reflects in different directions because its rough, there is many sides so the light reflects of the sides causing it to reflect in different directions.
How is a surface current different from a deep water current?
Different pressure levels will vary speed and direction
What happens to the direction of light in which it travels during reflection?
During reflection, the direction of light reverses. If light was traveling towards a reflective surface at a certain angle, it will bounce off the surface at an equal angle but in the opposite direction.
What happens when a sound reflects?
When a sound reflects, it bounces off a surface and changes direction. The sound wave behaves similarly to light waves reflecting off a mirror. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
What is cuurrent?
Not sure what a suface cuurrent is. In deep water, there often are currents that flow in different directions at different depths. A surface current will flow in one direction, near the surface, while there will be a current flowing in the opposite direction deeper down.
