OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gases I would think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Read the first bullet. And then consider it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np

@bookworm00981: When a wave passes from one medium to a second medium, part of the wave is transmitted into the second medium, and part of the wave is reflected back into the first medium. When a wave splits in this manner, the amplitudes of the transmitted and reflected waves each decrease at first and then become greater than the amplitude of the original wave. are each equal to the the amplitude of the original wave. are each greater than the amplitude of the original wave. are each less than the amplitude of the original wave.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the question exactly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm kinda unclear on that :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

" When a wave splits in this manner, the amplitudes of the transmitted and reflected waves are which of the following?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, as the wave bounces it diffuses and kinda weakens.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what would that make the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it has to be one of those answer choices from the question.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol ok... Notice I said it weakens.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bookworm00981

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you think of a weakening do you think of less or more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

less? so is it D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep :P

Don't forget to open a new thread every time.
