When a wave moves from a less dense medium to a denser one, most of the energy is refracted the answer is false.

Evie Houston · Answer 2

The correct choice is

B) false

as the wave moves from a less dense medium to a denser one, the frequency of the wave does not change. we know that the energy of the wave directly depends on the frequency. Since the frequency of wave does not change while moving from less dense medium to more dense medium, the energy of the wave does not change.
