Reflection , Diffraction, and Refraction
Waves reflect at a "Free" boundary
At a "Fixed" boundary, waves reflect and turn upside down (inverted)
When a wave passes from one medium to another it ispartially transmitted and partially reflected

When a wave bends around an obstacle, or as it passes through an opening
Diffraction is the bending of a wave around an edge, or when it strikes an obstacle
When a wave strikes a boundary at an angle and its speed changes in the new medium it will refract
May 3 9:20 AM
Waves can also bend by refractionRefraction : "When a waves strikes a boundary between two mediums at an angle it is bent as it passes into the new medium"
