Water Waves - Reflection.
Water waves are reflected from hard flat surfaces as shown below.
Note that the total length of the line representing the wave
peak
stays the same where it is being
reflected.
The red part of the incident wave
plus the blue part of the reflected
wave
is the same as the original line.
After reflection, a wave
has the same speed, frequency and wavelength,
it is only the direction of the
wave that has changed.
