a wave that os bounced back is valled a reflected wave
@shawnaee : \(\Huge\bf Welcome~to~ \color{#00B4ff}{Open}\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\Huge\bf\color{#7cc517}{Study~!!}~\) A wave that is bounced back is called a Reflection. EXTRA, EXTRA: I knwo, you don't really need to hear this, but I want to share all the knowledge I know of reflection. c: In any reflection, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. |dw:1396624893823:dw| Refraction occurs when light waves pass through a boundary between two mediums. In refraction, there is also an angle of incidence. The angle of refraction is defined by the outgoing light ray as it passes through the boundary between the air and water and continues through the water. Again, sorry I went all nerd on you. cx Only the sentence after the "welcome to openstudy" thing is important.
