a
A reflected sound wave bounces back to the place of origin. A diffracted sound wave changes direction as it passes through an opening.
b
A diffracted sound wave bounces back to the place of origin. A reflected sound wave is absorbed as it passes through an opening.
c
A reflected sound wave is absorbed by the medium. A diffracted sound wave changes direction as it passes through an opening.
d
A diffracted sound wave bounces back to the place of origin. A reflected sound wave changes direction as it passes through an opening.
The correct answer is: A reflected sound wave bounces back to the place of origin. A diffracted sound wave changes direction as it passes through an opening.
