Wave+Interactions

Wave Interactions ** __ Wave interactions: __ ** There are four different types of wave interactions these are interference, reflection, refraction and diffraction.

__ Refraction: __ The fact or phenomenon of light, radio waves, etc., being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another or through a medium of varying density. __ Diffraction: __ The process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically accompanied by interference between the wave forms produced. __ Interference: __ Interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individuals waves upon the particles of the medium.
 * __ Reflection: __ ** Reflection is the change in direction of a wave at inference which makes it return to the original medium. The rule of reflection is the angle of is the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.
