A peer tells you that wave absorption is the same as wave reflection. How would you correct your peer's statement?

Wave absorption means a wave is taken in by a material, while wave reflection means a wave is bounced back from a surface.

Both wave absorption and reflection mean a wave passes through a material.

Wave absorption and reflection are indeed the same.

Wave absorption means a wave is bounced back from a surface, while wave reflection means a wave is taken in by a material.

I would correct my peer's statement by saying that wave absorption is not the same as wave reflection. Wave absorption means a wave is taken in by a material, while wave reflection means a wave is bounced back from a surface.
