Reflection, refraction and diffraction

Waves training before the targeted original question drill.

Make it concrete

Analogy

Reflection, refraction and diffraction is like tracking a system with arrows and numbers: decide what changes, what stays conserved, and what equation describes it.

Why now: An analogy helps when the definition feels abstract.

Do this: Match each part of the analogy to the science idea.

Learn it

Reflection, refraction and diffraction sits inside Waves, so learn the core definition and the exam example that usually comes with it.

Focus on the model, equation, graph or force/energy transfer that explains the change when revising reflection, refraction and diffraction.

For a longer answer, write the equation or model first, then use units, graph clues or direction carefully.
