Which best describes what occurs when an object takes in a wave as the wave hits it?
transmission
absorption
reflection
refraction

Answer;

Absorption

Explanation;

-Absorption of a wave in motion involves the transfer of the wave energy to a matter or an object as the wave passes through it.

-Transmission of a wave is when a wave is being carried through a given medium. Reflection is when a wave strikes off an object, it is the bouncing back of a wave when it hits the surface of an object. Refraction is the bending of the wave at a certain angle when transmitted to a material.

The correct answer is absorption.

Explanation:

When a wave strikes an object then wave could be absorbed, transmitted, reflected and refracted.

When a wave travels from one medium to another medium then the transmission will take place.

When a wave is absorbed by an object then the absorption will occur.

When a wave strikes the object and it strikes off an object then reflection will occur.

When a wave gets bend at a certain angle while traveling from one medium to another then refraction will occur.

Therefore, the absorption occurs when an object takes in a wave as the wave hits it.

the dependant variable is spilled water

the independent is the heat

i think it is true since you can test the answer and can use observations to complete it.
