wave lab question

What happens to a wave as it hits a surface it cannot pass through?


The wave reflects, so some times the speed of the wave can change the angel.


Does energy affect the waves path?

sometimes yes and sometimes not, it actually depends on the weight or the size of the object that is causing the disturbance of the wave.

How is the angle at which the ball hits the wall related to the angle it bounces back?

Its not really related on the angle that it bounces back because the angle is formed by the size and weight of the object, and it depends on the angle, if the angle is straight it will just bounce right back straight.
