What happens at a boundary?
A boundary between two different materials is called an interface. When a wave reaches an interface, it may be reflected back into the original material, transmitted into the second material, or absorbed by the material.
Step-by-step lessons on AQA GCSE Physics 6.1.3 Reflection of waves. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build a strong grip on equations, units and Key Stage 3 fundamentals before tackling the more demanding topics like electromagnetism, the particle model of matter and space physics.
