Behavior

Match the following

• Reflection

• Wave changes direction when moving from one medium to another

• Diffraction

• Waves combine together to form a larger wave.

• Interference

• Wave stays in the same medium but bends around an obstacle.

• Refraction

• Wave completely passes through a medium.

• Transmission

• Wave encounters a barrier that causes the wave to return.
