To correctly identify each model of sound wave interactions with a surface, here’s how you can organize the interaction terms:

  1. Diffraction added to Reflection

    • Model: Diffraction and Reflection

  2. Absorption added to Reflection

    • Model: Absorption and Reflection

  3. Refraction added to Absorption

    • Model: Refraction and Absorption

  4. Diffraction only

    • Model: Diffraction

This arrangement groups the terms according to their interactions with surfaces in sound waves.
