Waves at a boundary

Waves at a boundary

A wave meeting a boundary between two materials, with incident, reflected and transmitted waves labelled and some energy absorbed by the boundary When a wave reaches the boundary between two materials, it is called the incident wave. Some of its energy can be reflected back, some transmitted into the second material, and some absorbed by the boundary.
