"Helpin out" Is correct, thank you I just got a 100
The correct answer is: A wave bounces off the surface of a material.
To understand this, let's first explain what reflection of a wave is. Reflection occurs when a wave encounters a boundary or surface and then changes direction. It's similar to how light reflects off a mirror.
When a wave encounters a boundary or surface, it can be partially or completely reflected. In the case of reflection, the wave bounces off the surface without passing through it. This change in direction occurs due to a change in the medium or medium properties.
To determine the answer yourself, you can employ the process of elimination.
Option 1 states that a wave fails to reach the surface of a material. This is incorrect because the question assumes that the wave does reach the surface and reflects off it.
Option 3 states that a wave transfers its energy to a material. While it is true that waves can transfer energy to a material, this statement does not specifically describe reflection. Reflection refers to the change in direction of a wave, not just the transfer of energy.
Option 4 states that a wave passes through a material. This is incorrect because, as mentioned earlier, reflection specifically refers to a change in direction that occurs when the wave encounters a surface or boundary.
By process of elimination, the correct answer is option 2 - "A wave bounces off the surface of a material." This describes the reflection of a wave accurately.
