If an incident wave makes a 20° angle with the barrier, the reflected wave makes an angle with the perpendicular drawn to the barrier. Which is the corresponding reflected ray? The amplitude of the reflected pulse when the wave passes from one medium to another - most of the energy has been transmitted, inverted, erect, large, small. The pulse is moving from the reflected pulse towards the end, which is the correct direction. The correct diagram for the pulses in B, when going from medium to medium, is shown. The speed of the pulses is greater in B. Which diagram below will lead to destructive interference? When waves refract, the speed and frequency of the waves do not change, only the wavelength and direction.
