Which statement is best supported by the table?

Wave W is being reflected, Wave X is being refracted, and waves Y and Z are being diffracted.

Wave X is being diffracted, Wave Z is being reflected, and waves Y and W are being refracted.

Wave X is being reflected, Wave Z is being refracted, and waves Y and W are being diffracted.

Wave W is being diffracted, Wave X is being reflected, and waves Y and Z are being refracted.

Multiple Choice

Which best describes what happens if two waves meet and build on each other?

constructive interference

destructive interference

reflection

absorption

Multiple Choice

Which situation would result in interference?

a wave bouncing off an object

a wave bending as it moves through an object
