The energy, or photon, is absorbed by the molecules on the boundary of the reflecting material from the direction of propagation of the light source. Then the energy is re-emitted in all directions by the molecules. But the next layer of molecules in the medium absorbs the light going into the material and the light exiting the material is the re-emission of the light wave; aka reflection.

What is it called When a wave bounces of an object?
This is called reflection of sound. It's like a sound wave bouncing on a trampoline.
What is reflection coefficient?
The reflection coefficient is used in physics and electrical engineering when wave propagation in a medium containing discontinuities is considered.A reflection coefficient describes the amplitude of a reflected wave relative to that of the incident wave.In telecommunications, the reflection coefficient is the ratio of the amplitude of the reflected wave to the amplitude of the incident wave.
The echo of a sound wave is due to what of the sound wave?
Reflection
What is a reflection of a sound wave?
An echo.
What is movement of wave called?
reflection

What is multiple reflection?
A multiple reflection is when there is mirror more than one we can create multiple reflections which leads to multiple images. A seismic wave which has more than one reflection is also known as repeated reflection; secondary reflection .
Reflection of artery?
Reflection of artery is known as a wave reflection.

The echo of a sound wave is due to what of the sound wave?
Reflection
How does reflection differ from reflection and diffraction?
reflection is the only process in which the wave does not continue moving forward.
What is an echo in sound?
A wave reflection.
What is a reflection of a sound wave?
An echo.
What is movement of wave called?
reflection
Why can't you see a diffuse reflection?
because a diffused reflection is a invisible wave
