Accepted Answer

The transmitted wave is up, while the reflected wave is inverted.The reflected wave is inverted in this scenario when the discontinuity occurs with a stationary, extremely heavy, and rigid obstruction because the contact point cannot move. Because the point can rise and they form a maximum at this point, if it collides with a moving object, the reflected wave is not inverted.According to the proposed scenario, the shock occurs when the thickness varies. In this scenario, the aforementioned occurrences occur, whereby some of the wave's energy is reflected by being inverted and some of it is transmitted without being inverted.The linear that is distributed between the two waves is proportional to the total of their amplitudes.Therefore, the transmitted wave is up and the reflected wave is inverted.To know more about transmitted wavehttps://brainly.com/question/14257436#SPJ4
