Does refraction only happen wih light rays?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Refraction occurs not only with light rays but also with other types of waves, such as sound waves and water waves. The discussion emphasizes the necessity of providing context and effort when asking questions, particularly in educational settings. Participants highlighted the importance of adhering to forum guidelines, such as using the Homework Help template for school-related inquiries. Clear and concise answers are encouraged, but users are reminded to engage thoughtfully with the community.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of wave properties, including refraction.
  • Familiarity with different types of waves, such as sound and water waves.
  • Knowledge of forum etiquette and guidelines for academic inquiries.
  • Ability to formulate questions that demonstrate prior effort and research.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of wave refraction in sound waves.
  • Explore the behavior of water waves and their refraction characteristics.
  • Learn about the Homework Help template and its requirements for academic questions.
  • Investigate the physics of light refraction and its applications in optics.
USEFUL FOR

Students seeking clarity on wave behavior, educators guiding students in forum etiquette, and anyone interested in the principles of wave physics and refraction.

Or does it happen wib other types of wave too? Just a simple answer please - with a clear YES or No.

Thanks in advance ☺

What do you think? Can you think of examples of other types of waves that would undergo refraction?

Also, is this question for your schoolwork?

LOL. You didn't answer my questions yet. We don't just give answers to questions like this here. First, you need to show some effort, and if this is for scholwork, it needs to be posted in the Homework Help forums, and you need to fill out the HH Template showing your work. :smile:
