Which best describes reflection and refraction? Waves change direction when encountering boundaries in reflection but not in refraction. Waves change direction when encountering boundaries in refraction but not in reflection. Waves change direction when encountering boundaries in both reflection and refraction. Waves do not change direction when encountering boundaries in either reflection or refraction.ANSWER: Waves change direction when encountering boundaries in both reflection and refraction.
