Question

What is Characteristics of Reflection of Waves?

Answer

Characteristics of Reflection of Waves - (i) In case of reflection, frequency of the wave remains unchanged. i.e. ω_i = ω_r = ω, (ii) Incident wave, reflected wave, normal and refracted wave always lies in the same plane, (iii) On reflection, amplitude and intensity of wave may decrease, (iv) If a wave is reflected from a free end, then it reflect without any change in phase.
