Question

What does it mean that material transmits waves?

1. Waves will pas through the materials
2. Waves will bend and change their direction slightly when they hit the material
3. Waves will bounce off the surface of the material
4. Waves will stop and transfer energy when they hit the material

Answer 1

may you pick one answer please bot

Answer 2

All of the given options can be true depending on the material and the type of waves. In general, when a material transmits waves, it means that the waves can pass through the material, but the behavior of the waves can vary. They can bend and change direction slightly (option 2) through a process called refraction, they can bounce off the surface of the material (option 3) through a process called reflection, or they can be absorbed by the material and transfer energy (option 4) through a process called absorption.

Answer 3

Sure! When we say a material transmits waves, it means that waves will pass through the material, so the answer would be option 1.
