An ultrasound wave is incident on a flat, vertical steel plate as shown in Figure 1.
Complete the ray diagram to show the reflection of the ultrasound wave by doing the following:
- Draw the normal line at the point of incidence.
- Draw the reflected ray with an arrow showing its direction.
- Calculate and label the angle of incidence, iii, and the angle of reflection, rrr, with their values in degrees.
Waves in air, fluids and solids Questions
Practise AQA GCSE Physics Waves in air, fluids and solids with exam-style questions for Foundation and Higher tier. 45 questions covering Transverse and longitudinal waves, Properties of waves, Reflection of waves (physics only), Sound waves (physics only) (HT only), and Waves for detection and exploration (physics only) (HT only), matched to the AQA GCSE Physics (8463) specification and written in Paper 1 and Paper 2 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
