Lesson 8.2 Wave Interactions

Question 76411 • (OC27) Earth/Space Sci-2001310-S2-Nelson

Charina says that when waves interact with an object, they will interfere with the object, and that when waves interact with other waves, they will reflect off each other. Do you agree with her? Why or why not?

Answer

Answer:

I disagree with Charina because she has the concepts reversed. When waves interact with other waves, they interfere with each other (constructive or destructive interference). When waves interact with an object and bounce off of it, they reflect.
