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

Waves can also bend by refraction
When a wave strikes a boundary at an angle and its speed changes in the new medium it will refract

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"

Principle of Superposition "When two waves exist at the same time in the
same space in a medium."
Constructive Interference two waves push in the same direction
Destructive Interference two waves push in opposite direction
The result of the interaction is called:
