It is NOT tides. I did this on study island, and the CORRECT ANSWER: WAVES
When a light beam arrives at a surface, it can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted. The interaction between the light and the surface depends on factors like the angle of incidence, the nature of the surface, and the wavelength of the light.
When a wave hits a surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the surface. The type of interaction depends on the properties of the surface and the wave itself. If the surface is smooth, the wave is more likely to be reflected; if the surface is rough, the wave might be absorbed or scattered in multiple directions.
When a ray of light falls on a surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the surface. The type of interaction that occurs depends on the properties of the surface, such as its material and texture.
When a beam of light encounters a surface, it can be reflected, absorbed, transmitted, or refracted depending on the properties of the surface and the angle of incidence. The interaction between the light and the surface is governed by the laws of reflection and refraction, which determine the angles at which the light will be reflected or transmitted.
Surface water collects in a watershed and seeps into ground
Capillary action is when water rises against gravity due to the interaction between the water molecules and the surface of a narrow container, such as a straw or plant roots. This phenomenon occurs because the adhesive forces between the water and the container's surface are stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules.

Normal force is a contact force that acts perpendicular to the surface of an object in contact with another surface. It arises from the electromagnetic interaction between atoms when two surfaces are pressed against each other.
When sound hits a surface, it can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted. The type of interaction depends on the material and texture of the surface. Sound waves can bounce off smooth surfaces like mirrors, be absorbed by soft materials like curtains, or pass through thin surfaces like paper.
Friction occurs on an object's surface due to the interaction between the roughness of the surfaces in contact. As the surfaces move against each other, the irregularities in the surfaces interlock and create resistance to motion. This resistance results in the force of friction, which opposes the relative motion between the surfaces.
When light strikes a substance, it can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The interaction between light and the substance depends on factors such as the substance's physical properties, wavelength of light, and surface texture. Absorption of light can lead to heating of the substance, while reflection is what allows us to see objects.
P-polarized light vibrates parallel to the surface, while s-polarized light vibrates perpendicular to the surface. This difference affects how they interact with surfaces, as p-polarized light is more likely to be reflected, while s-polarized light is more likely to be transmitted or absorbed by the surface.
