A peer tells you that wave absorption is the same as wave reflection. How would you correct your peer's statement?
Wave absorption means a wave is taken in by a material, while wave reflection means a wave is bounced back from a surface.
Both wave absorption and reflection mean a wave passes through a material.
Wave absorption and reflection are indeed the same.
Wave absorption means a wave is bounced back from a surface, while wave reflection means a wave is taken in by a material.
