Question
Which of the following is false regarding wave interference at media boundaries?
When moving from a faster medium to a slower medium, the transmitted wave is
upright and the reflected wave is inverted.
The sum of the amplitudes of the transmitted and reflected waves must equal
the amplitude of the original wave.
There there is little difference between the two media, then the amplitude of the
transmitted wave is similar to the amplitude of the original wave.
When moving from a slower medium to a faster medium, the transmitted wave is
upright while the reflected wave is inverted.
