Can someone help me rephrase this question?
How does the relationship of incident to reflected ray relate to the reflection of water waves moving perpendicular to a barrier?
What exactly is it asking?

What happens to a water wave incident perpendicularly on a barrier given that that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection?

Thank you :) & Would it be something like.. The waves bounce (for lack of a better word) off each other in opposite directions

anonymous · Answer

yes, that's about it.
