Answer :Waves change direction when encountering boundaries in both reflection and refraction.

When a wave bounces off a barrier and changes direction that is called reflection. Refraction, however occurs when a wave changed mediums, so if a wave were to go from moving in air to moving in water, the wave would change a direction that is based upon the index of refraction of that given medium.

So, if the answer is classifying a medium as a "boundary" then yes, they both change direction, however, a physical boundary only causes a change in direction in reflection.

I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done
Korolek [52]

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and \alpha is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle \alpha.

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5

So:

|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846

So:

Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)

\alpha = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

\alpha = 313 °

What does it mean when work is positive?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

When force and displacement are in the same direction, the work performed on an object is said to be positive work. Example: When a body moves on the horizontal surface, force and displacement act in the forward path. The work is done in this case known as Positive work.
