Bats use a process called echolocation to find their food. This involves giving out sound waves that hit possible prey or food. When the waves hit an object, they bounce back to the bat, allowing the bat to locate its prey.

What type of wave interaction is echolocation?

absorption
diffraction
reflection
refraction

Reflection.

Echolocation works because bats emit sound waves that bounce off objects and return as echoes; that's the definition of reflection (not absorption, diffraction, or refraction).
