Wave Interactions
Wave interactions occur when waves encounter obstacles or other waves, leading to alterations in their amplitude, frequency, or direction. These interactions are fundamental in understanding various natural phenomena, from the behavior of light waves in optics to the dynamics of ocean waves. Through processes such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference, waves exhibit complex behaviors that are crucial in fields ranging from physics and engineering to biology and communication. Investigating wave interactions provides insights into the principles governing wave propagation and enables the development of applications across numerous disciplines.
