Question 8 • Physics in the Universe

Which is the best example of the wave phenomenon called transmission?

Answer
A
Sound is heard around an open doorway.
B
A coin seems smaller at the bottom of a swimming pool.
C
A street is seen through a window.
D
An image of a tree is seen is on the surface of a smooth lake.

Explanation

Transmission occurs when a wave passes through a material. Light passes through the window, allowing the street to be seen, so “A street is seen through a window” is the best example. Sound bending around a doorway is diffraction, while the tree’s image on the lake is reflection.
